How Do I Work?

In my practice, I take a humanistic approach, which means I want to see you as a whole person, not just a set of labels or diagnoses. I understand that you are complex and may hold diverse, sometimes contradictory aspects of yourself, and that’s completely okay. Unlike the healthcare system, which often focuses on what’s “wrong” with you, I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.

In our sessions, I will use an attachment-based and trauma-informed model to help you uncover the roots of your struggles. We’ll work on healing from shame and cultivating compassion, while also shining a light on your positive qualities, strengths, and potential for growth. I believe in an integrative method, blending various evidence-based techniques that are tailored to fit your unique needs.

During our intake session, we’ll discuss your goals and desires, and I will develop a personalized treatment plan just for you. This plan is flexible and can be adjusted whenever you wish, as your feedback is always welcome.

  • “My therapy experience with Julia was really positive. She has always made me feel safe to express my emotions and thoughts, especially when we talked about topics that are deemed as societal 'taboos'. Our sessions were valuable time spent in a non-judgmental space that allowed me to discover my internalized beliefs, assumptions and questions I have.”
