Hello! My name is Julieana and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have been practicing for the last seven years and have been helping clients navigate through life's complexities and ongoing challenges. My therapeutic style is very warm and accepting with a dash of humor when needed. I meet my client's where they're at on their mental health journey and go at their pace to get them to achieve their mental health goals.
In our initial session, my primary goal is to understand you better and explore the reasons behind your decision to seek therapy. I prioritize establishing a safe environment where you can openly discuss your worries and aspirations for our future sessions.
Some of my greatest strengths as a therapist include empathy, my genuine commitment to helping client's achieve their full potential, and improving their overall wellbeing.
I work with adults navigating through different life changes whether its going away to college, new careers / career changes, relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, or different phases of life.
