“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” Caroline Flack Hello! I am Julia. Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed by current events or the direction your life has taken? Do you find yourself repeating behaviors or patterns of behavior that contribute to your unhappiness, and you don’t understand why? Do you have thoughts or feelings that upset you? Are you struggling to handle sudden changes in your life, including new physical limitations? I have good news. You are not alone. And help is out there. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I focus on providing a safe, compassionate, empathetic environment while also promoting accountability and proactive planning to encourage positive changes. Most importantly, I am here to work with you to help you on your journey to become the person you want to be. To that end, we will work together to determine what strategies work best for you. I am here to listen and support, without judgment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Therapy is far more than the time you spend talking with me. The real work of therapy is when you go home and work through the new information, or practice new skills. As such, you should expect to leave sessions with “homework” - questions to consider and answer, journaling, or new skills to implement and test. This is where real change happens.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My focus is on the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and related treatment strategies, namely Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also use the Lifetrap model, where appropriate. I regularly utilize “homework” as a treatment tool to help guide you when you’re not in session with me. “Homework” can consist of journaling exercises, handouts, or logging behaviors.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strength is my open-minded compassion and empathy. Whatever it is you are struggling with, I am here without judgment to help. In keeping with the words of Ms. Flack, I have chosen to be kind, and I carry that with me into my therapeutic relationship with you.
