Hi there, I'm Julio!

I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy and forensic services, offering compassionate, tailored support for adults, including survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence. My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to work through life's challenges.

My focus

My Focus: I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma-related concerns, as well as individuals navigating major life transitions. Whether you're processing difficult experiences, building coping skills, or working toward personal growth, I'll help you develop a plan that feels both achievable and meaningful.

My approach

My Approach: I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical and effective method that helps you challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier patterns. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based—I believe in your ability to grow, and I'm here to guide and support you in building a more fulfilling, balanced life.
