Get to Know Julia
How will our relationship be different than relationships I have with friends/loved ones?
The therapeutic relationship is unique, and unlike the relationships you may have with friends, family, colleagues or acquaintances. The foundation of our relationship is built on total acceptance, openness and non-judgement. My hope is that we will build a strong, trusting alliance where you will ultimately feel safe and comfortable sharing and exploring yourself with me.
If I have never been to therapy before, what should I expect? How do I know if I should go, and how do I start?
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, struggling with relationships, or seeking increased fulfillment in your day-to-day, therapy can help you. Your interest in being here is the only requirement to getting started. Our sessions will start where you feel comfortable and move forward in a collaborative process that includes reflection, problem solving, and goal setting. I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy, incorporating psychodynamic techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and collaboration with medical providers. I welcome client feedback and input throughout our work together. I believe that you are the foremost expert on yourself; my role is to guide you to become the best version of that self. Together, we will create the space for meaningful change in your life.
What led you to become a mental healthcare practitioner?
Therapy has always played an important role in my life, but I did not immediately recognize my professional desire to become a therapist. I pursued a career in finance after graduating from Cornell University, working in the intense, high-stress world of stock trading. What I lacked in passion for the markets I made up for in strong interpersonal skills and a fascination with human behavior, motivation, and relationships. In time, I recognized that my ability to understand and help other young professionals in the workplace was more than just a useful business skill — it was the foundation for a dynamic clinical practice. I am passionate about using my own experience to guide young adults who are navigating life changes in this complicated, modern world.
