Meet Julia

I use approaches that draw on client strengths and also bring ideas, thoughts, fears, behaviors, and unfulfilled dreams to the forefront to create desired change. From a young age, I have always seen that all humans have value and individual strengths. I have enjoyed working in the field for over 20 years, where I believe creating a supportive, validating environment and honing in on specific areas of development have allowed for very successful change in my clients' lives. Reaching out for support is not easy, but I will walk the path with you, as we explore and implement steps for more peace, joy, and understanding in your life.
