Some of my favorite words to live by are, "if nothing changes, nothing changes". You deserve the opportunity to feel your best and I would be honored to help you on your way towards emotional healing and self-discovery. The best part of being a therapist is getting to witness and learn from all of the unique strengths and coping skills that everyone possesses, and helping them identify and access those gifts. I love working with people in all stages of life, and truly believe in the healing power of a strong, therapeutic relationship.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit more about me. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, body image challenges, anxiety, stress, and trauma.

Welcome! My name is Julia and I can't wait to hear your story. I'm passionate about therapy rooted in insight and action. This can look like naming perfectionism as a learned behavior that is no longer serving you, or better understanding the role you played in your family system and how this shows up in your relationships. Once we better understand our patterns we can answer the the ever vital question: Now what? My approach is warm, collaborative, and -above all- curious. Where insight and action meet we can find peace, growth, and even a bit of magic.

Seeking help takes courage. I am invested in working together toward making the changes you seek by creating a safe, trusting environment where we can explore the roadblocks holding you back. I practice in a holistic community where many modalities of treatment are used to promote healing. Do you feel "keyed up" most of the time or continue to behave in damaging patterns where you know the "why" but can't seem to make changes? Talk may not be enough.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task, often undertaken at a time when one is feeling less than powerful. I offer a free phone consultation to potential clients, during which we'll get to know a little bit about each other, and I can answer any questions about the therapeutic process, including scheduling and fees. In my practice, I make use of a variety of theoretical frameworks to help understand and address your symptoms. I employ elements of cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, psychodynamic, art and music therapies, but my focus is always on you as a whole person, understood in the context of your environment.

If you're looking for a therapist, there's a good chance you feel like "something" in your life isn't working -- perhaps within yourself, a relationship, or your career. Sometimes it's hard to know what that "something" is, and, other times, the feeling may be directly connected to a specific event, relationship, or personality trait. As your therapist, I will work with you at a pace that feels manageable, and together we will reflect on what feels like it's not working and identify possibilities that may bring relief or change.

At its core, therapy is a conversation. Like a greenhouse, this specially crafted conversation we call “therapy” aims to nurture and ripen our words, thoughts, images, emotions, and sensations, all "vitals" of the mind, so that they can become useful in our growth journey, both inside and outside the therapy room. Within the protective bounds of therapy, we find a rare space to talk, enhanced by the luxury of time and undivided attention, an array of choices, the chance for “multiple takes,” and a pause button. It is also in this space where the invitation to discover our innermost self or play a completely new role lives.

I have a diverse practice and enjoy working with men and women to help them grow from within and improve the relationship they have with both themselves and others.

I create a warm, empathetic space where clients can learn to better understand themselves, let go of self-limiting beliefs, and build healthy coping mechanisms.

I provide virtual psychotherapy throughout Washington, D.C., and Maryland. My passion is to support clients in embracing authenticity, reclaiming their power, and celebrating pleasure. This work often requires delving into the intricacies of people-pleasing tendencies, the suppression of true feelings, the struggles associated with low self-esteem, and sexual dissatisfaction. Additionally, I address pervasive issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Some are experiencing relationship issues or identity concerns, struggling with life transitions, feeling overwhelmed or stuck or struggling with anxiety or depression.
Often people seek therapy when emotions are increasingly distressing, or relationships or life circumstances are unsatisfying. Therapy can help clarify your current situation, help you understand how you arrived at this point, and formulate a path forward. I describe my approach as active, compassionate, and empowering. My role is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Through mutual respect and trust, we can create an atmosphere of curiosity where you can also be challenged to do the valuable work of self-exploration, growth, and change.
