Hi! I'm Julia. Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, and I commend you for taking this step towards improving your self care and well being! I recognize the complexity and difficulty of addressing emotional pain, and I like to bring warmth, compassion and humor to the process. I specialize and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. I work with clients through the unpredictability of trying to start a family, including adoption and fertility issues. I support families who are facing the pain of pregnancy loss, or dealing with the aftermath of birth trauma. I treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that arise during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. I provide a skilled perspective to help clients learn how to ride the waves of this delicate and vulnerable time. I use a person-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. I believe in building and maintaining a trusting therapeutic relationship, to help you heal from past traumas, live peacefully in the present moment, and feel hopeful about the future.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I'll provide you with a little information about me and my background, and then we'll begin to look into how you've been feeling and discuss what's been happening in your life to help you find some relief and ideally, a sense of hopefulness for our journey moving forward in therapy together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I'm flexible and open minded in my approach to treatment with each individual, and enjoy working to find ways to make therapy work for you as opposed to trying to squeeze you into a mold that may not be quite the right fit.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients who are embarking on their journey towards parenthood, and I enjoy helping clients learn to live whole heartedly with the ups and downs of this transformative time in life.
