About Julia
Julia earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from the University of California, Riverside. She has worked with adults, groups, couples, families, and adolescents in a variety of settings since 2016. Much of her background includes work with addiction, substance use, trauma, and incarcerated populations.
In sessions she pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and the body interact. She helps people talk through problems like low self-esteem, isolation, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Julia aims to tailor sessions to each person's situation. She listens for practical changes that can reduce daily stress and improve mood. Her approach blends attention to emotional experience with straightforward strategies people can try between sessions.
People who come for help with depression or for support after trauma will find an emphasis on clear goals and gradual progress. Julia encourages collaboration so clients feel involved in choosing what to work on next.
