Transformative
therapy for MODERN lives

Julia believes the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of meaningful change. She works to create a caring, open, and judgment-free space where clients feel safe and comfortable being themselves. Julia brings empathy, kindness, and a good sense of humor to her sessions, helping clients feel at ease as they work through challenges collaboratively. For her, feeling at ease with your therapist is where authentic progress starts.

Julia works with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and family conflict. Julia takes a holistic approach to therapy and understands the importance of the mind-body connection. She draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based practices in her work, tailoring her approach to each individual client. By balancing emotional support with practical tools, Julia works with her clients to help them better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and feel more empowered in their daily lives.

Prior to working in the mental health field, Julia worked in professional, corporate environments. She knows firsthand what it’s like to face high-pressure deadlines, demanding workloads, and the constant struggle to find balance between work and personal life. This experience lets her relate to clients dealing with burnout, career uncertainty, workplace stress, or the feeling that their job has taken over their sense of self.

Before joining Downtown Behavioral Wellness, Julia worked with families supporting parents and children through emotionally charged, often difficult moments. That work shaped her interest in supporting individuals facing complex family challenges, such as strained or estranged relationships, divorce and co-parenting, conflict, boundaries, and the lasting ways family patterns affect how we see ourselves and connect with others. Julia understands that family relationships are rarely simple. She offers a compassionate space for clients to untangle mixed emotions, make sense of the past, and decide what healthier connection looks like going forward. Together, Julia works with clients to rebuild trust and connection.
