Hi there, I'm Julia!

I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in integrative and creative approaches to healing. I help clients explore their inner worlds through evidence-based practices and narrative tools that promote reflection, resilience, and emotional freedom.

My focus

I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, and creative blockages. I especially enjoy helping those who feel “stuck” reconnect with their vitality and sense of purpose.

My approach

My work blends psychodynamic insight, mindfulness, and somatic awareness with narrative and expressive therapies. I often use collaborative exploration and creative reflection to help clients transform patterns, strengthen self-understanding, and create meaningful change.
