Julia’s clinical areas of specialty include neurodivergence (e.g ADHD, Autism, OCD) & those exploring it, perfectionism/people pleasing tendencies, relationship challenges, career concerns, and perinatal mental health. Some folks she works with also might describe themselves as sensitive, deep thinkers/feelers. As a neurodivergent woman, she feels passionate about working with clients who face challenges related to these areas. Julia often supports clients in growing self-compassion, increasing self-awareness, living more aligned with their values, and in creating a life that feels sustainable and meaningful. Julia is neurodivergent-affirming and often utilizes evidence-based practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and also incorporates a relational psychodynamic style to identify and address current ways of relating to others and the world that often stems from our past. She is Gottman Level 1 trained for couples therapy and has her Maternal Mental Health Certificate.

Let me guess - You feel things really deeply. You enjoy thinking about issues, yourself, specific interests, the world, in a detailed way. This might feel really great for you at times, while also feeling overwhelming and exhausting. And it’s hard, because you can’t just turn sensitivity off. You might feel that your brain seems to work differently than others. I get it. Having a therapist who actually understands what this experience is like can be life changing. I bring both my clinical knowledge and my lived experience into my work with clients. You’re not broken, you’re not lazy, you’re not doing it all wrong. You’re wired differently, and that’s okay.
