Meet Julia

I bring a warm, client-centered approach rooted in deep empathy, safety, and empowerment. I support individuals navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and substance abuse in reconnecting with their bodies and emotions. Somatic work is central to my practice, with an emphasis on nervous system regulation, mind-body awareness, and the importance of feeling safe in one’s own body. Whether you're processing long-held trauma or managing daily stress, I offer a compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow.
