Hi! I'm Julia and I'm a licensed therapist in the state of Florida. I really enjoy working with kids 9 and up, teens, and adults who suffer from feeling disconnected from themselves due to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, addiction, or poor self esteem. I also enjoy working with those in the LGBTQ+ community or those who experience self harm or suicidal thoughts. Through my calm, warm and compassionate demeanor, I help guide clients to return home to themselves and find a place of calm despite the noise in their heads or bodies.

You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed. Maybe you’re having trouble in relationships or adjusting to new circumstances. Or you feel depressed and can’t make yourself do things you need to and used to enjoy doing. You want to feel better, enjoy life again, and understand yourself on a deeper level.

Does stress, worry, anxiety, or sadness get in the way of your day-to-day activities? Does it feel like no matter what you do, you are always carrying that weight on your shoulders? Perhaps there are specific things you are experiencing that are getting in the way of true inner happiness, which may include problems within a relationship, career dissatisfaction, or unresolved problems from your past.

I have been practicing Marriage and Family Therapy and individual therapy since 2005. Marriage is a bond that is often difficult to keep together as a couple goes through difficult times. Therapy will focus on components to assist clients from being stuck in their own way of thinking and processing. It is the stuck place that often brings people to feelings of helplessness, depression, anxiety and not perceiving issues with hope and options for change. I specialize in helping couples working through more severe issues, such as, infidelity, personality disorders, etc.

When the pattern of a good night's sleep seems like an impossible task, I can help. We all have those occasional nights when sleep eludes us. What makes it worse is that we try to force ourselves to sleep, which never works. However, when a lack of sleep becomes the pattern you may be suffering from Insomnia. Insomnia can be defined as difficulty achieving a "good night's sleep." If you're frustrated with feeling sleepy and fatigued during the day and can't sleep at night, contact me. Together we will develop strategies that will give you that restful and restorative sleep you deserve.

It can be overwhelming to think we might need help or to ask for help. Sometimes, life throws things at us that we simply don't know how to handle. I believe we have the capacity to get through challenges and come out stronger, but oftentimes, we need help to get ourselves to that point. I believe in creating an atmosphere to remove roadblocks, clearing the way for you to move toward a happier, healthier life and relationship. Together we will identify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to feelings of insecurity, anger, sadness, anxiety, shame, or disconnect.

I have been a Therapist for 27 years. Working with people who need and want to change is powerful. Most people have something they would like to change or heal from. Wanting or needing change does not make it happen, you have to work at it. Clients often come to therapy at a loss of what to do next and thats where the process begins. That's what therapy is all about. Finding the right therapist is critical to change and healing. I encourage you to call me.
