Hello my name is Jules (she/her). I am currently accepting new clients in Oregon. It is important to understand systemic oppression as it affects marginalized communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA plus, as cultural events and generational trauma affect our mental wellbeing. Another perspective relevant to my practice is the inclusion of feminism and a sex positive belief system. A component in my practice is eliminating stigma behind mental health issues and creating a dialogue that further removes us from the concept of “normal.”

I think I work best with clients whose goals are both large and realistic: working with depth enough for deep healing and growth, but with an eye to the practical, and with clear communication back and forth. Clients who need to tackle embarrassing, painful and difficult issues may appreciate my gently direct, understanding and non-judgmental approach. Those who have been frustrated with cookie-cutter approaches may appreciate my close listening, collaboration, and inventiveness based on extensive training and experience. I find I work well with a variety of symptoms and presenting problems in adults, children and relationships.

It's so hard to do that alone - you're not supposed to do this on your own. I am here to support you get you out of the trenches. I am passionate about helping you navigate this journey of self-discovery towards growth and healing.

I enjoy working with my clients to help them live more in alignment with how they want to be living. We identity sources of "stuckness", which may include histories of trauma/traumatic invalidation, distress around identities related to race, sexuality, gender, and/or neurodivergence, coping with mood disorders and related behavioral and relationship difficulties, among other significant and impactful life experiences and challenges with past coping strategies. While taking a social justice-oriented and compassionate stance, we work on understanding and processing pain in order to increase one's experience of empowerment and ease.

Couples who are in a life transition or going through changes may be facing new and different challenges. They benefit from having in-depth discussions around issues to gain more clarity, relief, and solidify their foundation so that they can be a stronger partner for one another. When they work together to improve communication and better conflict resolution, they are more equipped to create more intimacy, understanding, and a general sense of collaboration in the relationship. Individuals are also able to benefit from 1:1 support to better their interpersonal relationships.

My ideal client is someone who is curious about themselves and the relationships they cultivate. They notice some patterns or triggers in their lives but they aren't sure where they stem from or how to work with them. Perhaps they have been to therapy before and are looking for a more relational approach with deeper insights.

I tend to see individuals who achieve success in school and in their careers, but retain a chronic and deep-seated feeling that something is missing. Often, these individuals have gotten by on exceptional logic with little sense that there can be more to their existence. They may be more comfortable doing as opposed to being, thinking as opposed to feeling, and helping as opposed to being helped. High standards commonly include high pressure to self-contain, which can cause immense, private suffering. I aim to provide these individuals with a fuller and more compassionate experience of themselves.

I wonder what kind of therapists people scroll through psychology profiles to therapist shop for. When people ask me what my ideal client I actually wonder whats people's ideal therapists? I think this is important when thinking about an ideal client and therapists because I see it as a collaborative work. I'm not here to force you what I think is best for you, therapy is something both the client and therapist figure out together to meet the clients' needs and goals.

I work with people hoping to recover from complex trauma in a way that honors and integrates their whole selves. I help clients figure out stuck points, make changes aligned with their goals and values, feel more connected with themselves and others, and live a more meaningful life. I enjoy working with people who have always felt different and are navigating their mental health at the crossroads of intersecting identities that don't fit into neat boxes.
