How Do I Work?

In my practice, I take a humanistic approach, which means I see you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. You are complex and may carry many different, even conflicting parts of yourself, and that’s completely okay. Unlike systems that often focus on what’s “wrong,” I aim to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.

My work is attachment-based and trauma-informed, with a focus on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for individuals. This approach is especially helpful for addressing trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and depression. While EFT is a central framework in my practice, I believe in an integrative method, blending various evidence-based techniques that are tailored to fit your unique needs.

Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your struggles, work through shame, and cultivate self-compassion, while also highlighting your strengths and potential for growth. In our intake session, we’ll talk through your goals and desires, and I’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to you. This plan is flexible and can be adjusted whenever you wish, as your feedback is always welcome.

  • “Julia provided me with the connection, resources, and clarity I needed to get through a difficult point in my life. She allowed me to slow down and really digest the moment, allowing me to see what I valued most. She was always professional yet every appointment felt like I was meeting with a friend. I cannot recommend someone better than Julia!”

  • “My therapy experience with Julia was really positive. She has always made me feel safe to express my emotions and thoughts, especially when we talked about topics that are deemed as societal 'taboos'. Our sessions were valuable time spent in a non-judgmental space that allowed me to discover my internalized beliefs, assumptions and questions I have.”
