Overcoming Obstacles with a Warm, Supportive Guide

Individual teletherapy for parents, teens and adults in California

Hi, I’m Julia

I love hearing your story.

I had a very talkative client once tell me, “No one has ever listened to me for this long.” I was struck, as I periodically am, by the sheer power of listening, and of being heard.

The therapeutic relationship can be incredibly healing. The “secret sauce” of therapy is not some elusive technique or magical strategy: it’s the quality of connection you have with your therapist. That’s why, at the core of my practice, is a genuine care for, and ability to connect with, my clients. I can’t wait to learn more about you, help you navigate this complicated life stage, and feel ready for what’s next.

Parenting Skills

I can help you move through complicated feelings, recognize your strengths, and reshape your ideas of who you are.

Together we’ll find out if this obstacle really is “insurmountable,” or if you already have all the skills and tools you need to overcome.

You’re overwhelmed. Perhaps it’s a tricky stage of parenting, a relationship that isn’t going well, a big life change, or just your own self-doubt which seems to have ballooned out of nowhere. You long to feel like you have a better grasp on things, are more in control, and can cope with whatever challenges might lay ahead.

In our work together, I’ll listen carefully to what you’re saying (or trying to say, or maybe even not saying!) I’ll summarize what you’ve told me in a way that helps expand both your self-understanding and your vocabulary, so you can better articulate your experience. We’ll organize your thoughts together, modify statements that aren’t accurate, and help you formulate your ideas more clearly, in order to communicate with your loved ones and get what you need. You’ll have a clearer understanding of yourself, your unique abilities and desires, as well as better communication & relationships.

What’s unique about my practice is a genuine interest in your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and how they’ve led you to where you are today. I will tune into your internal world and help you get unstuck.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own; I can help you find a better path.
