I have had much more effective therapy sessions since moving from traditional office visits to BetterHelp. The simplicity and consistency of this platform have removed unnecessary physical and mental obstacles surrounding therapy (i.e. travel, parking, unplanned social interactions, etc.) and allowed me to focus on the content of my sessions. I have recommended BetterHelp to others in my community of chronically ill persons; others who, like me, have missed necessary sessions due to unnecessary, strenuous hurtles. Julia has had a profound impact on the quality of my life. Though my physical pain has and will inevitably continue to increase, I now understand that my worth does not diminish just because my physical capabilities may change or decrease. Julia is both an empathetic listener and a curious thinker, who listens without judgement, asks questions to further understand, offers an array of exercises/ techniques to try, and gently challenges my self-sabotaging thoughts (which taught me how to challenge them on my own). I have and will continue to sing her praises!

I’ve seen numerous psychologists and therapists and to this day have never had someone make as much of a difference in my mental health and personal growth as Julia. She is patient, listens to me, and truly let’s me drive the sessions to their end destination by helping me process my emotions and drawing the conclusion myself. Truly, I am so thankful for everything she has done for me and her time. She has been flexible with her schedule and allowed me to commit myself to our sessions by doing so. She is great and I would recommend her to anyone.

More about Julia

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to build strength and endurance to face the inevitable challenges and influences in order to move forward with autonomy, confidence, and personal liberation.I will nurture an environment and container of trust and support as you build the relationship and deepen your understanding and sense of self. I believe all people have the innate capacity for understanding the direction their own lives should take; I will join you as you explore and examine the potential blocks standing in the way of living a fuller and more meaningful, authentic life.

I have a passion for working with people who may be struggling with their identity, who do not fit the beliefs and expectations held by their family of origin, mainstream culture, and/or the many systems within our society that are inherently designed to oppress and marginalize people who do not conform to these historical and societal restrictions. Many times, the experience of being seen and understood fully by another human being is the core of healing. I offer psychotherapy that fosters curiosity and wonder for each person’s individuality. Other times, it is helpful to sensitively work through past trauma and attachment patterns. Because my counseling approach is existential and humanistic, therapeutic care is tailored to the specific needs of each person. I am well-versed in a variety of psychological tools from diverse therapies, and I use what is best for each client to meet their goals for therapy.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Julia has been kind and attentive to my complicated condition. The techniques she has recommended have been immense helpful for me to better understand myself and my pain (they have even been helpful to explain my world of physical pain to my doctors). The remote services have given me the option to get help when I need it but I have been blown away by Julia. I never expected to make such significant progress with attaining mental stability and much of that is because she has really made me feel safe, heard, and respected.

Reviewed November 2021

Julia is patient and understanding and allows me to work at my own pace while still helping me to come to conclusions I would not normally have gotten to just by myself or by talking to friends and family. She’s the only therapist that I believe has ever actually made an impact on my growth and helped me. I appreciate everything she does and will continue to see her as long as possible.
