About

Clients often reach out to Julia when life feels off — even if everything looks “fine” on the outside. Others reach out in the midst of a deeper rupture: relationship challenges, burnout, a health crisis, or an emotional unraveling that no longer responds to their usual coping strategies. Despite being capable, successful, and self-aware, they find themselves stuck in patterns that no longer feel fulfilling — or emotionally sustainable. They may notice tension in their relationships, difficulty being present, or a quiet sense of disconnection beneath the surface of a well-managed life.

Therapy becomes a space not just to analyze or fix, but to thoughtfully explore what’s behind these patterns — and to develop a deeper kind of clarity and self-leadership.

Julia guides this exploration with care, structure, and attunement. Together with her clients, she helps uncover the internal systems that drive you — the parts that push, protect, or perform — and works collaboratively to understand what those parts truly need in order to realign. This process isn’t about perfection or diagnosis. It’s about helping you understand your inner world so you can live from it with more freedom, precision, and presence.

She specializes in working with clients who are emotionally complex, self-aware, and often carrying a quiet exhaustion — professionally, relationally, or internally. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) as her core modality, Julia centers her work around compassionate inquiry, nervous system regulation, and relational depth.

Therapy with Julia is an intentional investment, and she holds that commitment with care. Outside of sessions, she engages in ongoing clinical training, group and individual supervision, and reflective practice. For Julia, this is not just a profession — it’s a craft she deeply values.

Julia holds a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from New York University, a Bachelor’s in Business from George Washington University, and certification in Holistic Health from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Before becoming a therapist, she worked in Fortune 500 corporate environments, giving her a nuanced understanding of high-pressure systems and the emotional toll of maintaining outward success.

This experience allows her to meet clients where they are — whether they’re navigating burnout, relationship challenges, or simply longing for a more congruent and internally aligned life.

If this resonates, Julia offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation to explore whether it feels like the right fit.
