Julia is thrilled to begin working with clients on their journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. She is deeply passionate about the experience of counseling, both from a professional and personal standpoint. Julia hopes to engage with individuals of all backgrounds and histories. She is highly drawn to humanistic and cognitive models. Julia believes that by integrating CBT methods with deep relational connection, clients can feel encouraged to reach their goals, overcome personal difficulties, and implement desired life changes. Julia believes that collaboration is an essential element of a successful therapeutic experience, and always places the respect and autonomy of the client at the top of her priority list. Julia’s greatest desire is that clients will leave the counseling space feeling uplifted, knowing that internal peace and joy are achievable.

Julia was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and just recently moved to Florida with her husband. During her free time, she has been falling in love with local beaches, developing connections at her new home church, and exploring the city of Sarasota.
