LMFT, 10 years of experience
Hi! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, CA. I received my master's from the University of Southern California in 2014 and have been practicing for just over 10 years. I help adults adjust to life changes, get unstuck and move closer to their personal and professional goals. I really love working with ADHD, low self-esteem, people pleasers, young adults, and parents.
In our first session, we'll explore in detail what you're struggling with. I'll gather a detailed history from you, including all of your experiences relevant to the problem that's bringing you into therapy. This will help me create an individualized treatment plan just for you. We'll identify your goals for treatment, and once you've met your goals, treatment can end! (Or, we can target a new goal and continue our work; it's completely up to you.)
I listen really closely and with genuine curiosity. I'll help you find the language to describe your experience and communicate it more effectively to your loved ones, so that they can support you. I'll help you recognize and harness your many strengths.
I love working with ADHD and the mood symptoms (depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, imposter syndrome) that tend to accompany ADHD. I also do great work with "people pleasers." My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure about the future.
Together we'll explore how your thoughts are impacting your mood and habits, identify any thought patterns that are unhelpful, and learn ways to restructure your thinking to help you be more resilient in the face of challenges.
I find it's important to explore your earliest (e.g. infancy/childhood) relationships and how those experiences are impacting your current ones.

Julia is calm, personable, an excellent listener and deeply caring. Her soothing demeanor and warm approach to therapy is an instant balm to an anxious mind. The way she listens, trusts, understands, and asks questions, all while gently challenging me, is proof of the fact that she has the utmost respect for her clients, their situation, their struggles and their point of view. With this approach, she helps me see things differently and inspires me to action. I am very glad she is my therapist!
