Julia is the best therapist I have ever had, hands down. After being treated inappropriately by a previous therapist it took me years to return to therapy. I feel heard and safe.

Julia is really phenomenal and one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. She is very easy to talk to and be open with, even when it comes to the most private and difficult situations. She has a special way of building your self esteem while also telling you what you need to hear. When I first started working with her I was in the middle of the worst depressive episode I have had in over 20 years. I couldn’t have gotten through it without her help. That was one year ago and a lot of growth has happened in my life since then. I’m forever grateful for her!

She has helped me to do things that are not inmy normal comfort zone and really does everything to find out where trauma experience comes from and ways to cope

I have only been seeing Julia for a couple months and my life has already had so many upswings from it. It’s not like everything in my life stopped being crazy but more that she has already given me so much confidence and so many tools to work through those things that I don’t feel quite as unprepared. Knowing I have someone who is there to encourage me and celebrate my wins even when they feel small is so comforting. It’s refreshing to have someone tell you it’s okay, or rather important, to help yourself, believe in yourself and put yourself first and mean it. She is always positive and attentive and she never makes me feel out of place talking to her. 10/10 would always recommend.
