About Julia
Julia spent many years working in community corrections before training as a counselor, and that background influences her approach to behavior and accountability. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from City University of Seattle and a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Society and Justice and Sociology from the University of Washington.
Her work centers on cognitive behavioral methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She combines that with mindfulness and narrative ideas to help clients make sense of their experiences and find workable ways forward. Sessions often include concrete skills practice and goal-focused conversation.
Julia also addresses intimacy and sexual concerns, including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, and helps people navigate communication problems, body image, and relationship strain. She supports people managing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of past abuse.
Clients can expect a straightforward, nonjudgmental space and a sense of humor when appropriate. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
