About me

About Julia

If you're tired of performing "normalcy" and ready to feel at home in your own mind, you're in the right place.

I'm Julia, and I offer a creative, trauma-informed space for people ready to drop the mask and meet their true selves 

​

From the Outside In: My Story

I started my career as a makeup artist, helping people express themselves on the outside. But I kept feeling pulled toward something deeper, helping people feel just as at home on the inside.

That pull led me to art therapy: a clinical practice that blends creativity, neuroscience, and compassion to process what words alone can't reach.

​

How I Work

I'm an Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate and Provisional Art Therapist with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Transpersonal Art Therapy. I've worked across high- and low-support settings, and that's taught me one thing: healing isn't one-size-fits-all. It takes a flexible toolkit.

​

In our work together, I draw from:

• Practical tools — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, for when you want clarity and structure

• Deep-dive practices — Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and Art Therapy, for the material that lives beneath language

​

This lets us work with both your logical mind and your creative spirit, so you can find your way back to yourself.

Is This You?

You might be a good fit for our work together if you:

• Feel the world too intensely and think too deeply, or you believe something is fundamentally wrong with you

• Value honesty, curiosity, and authenticity over small talk

• Are creative, or find metaphor and visual work easier than verbal processing

• Feel tormented by the endless doom-piles and to-do lists, and worry you'll never "get your act together."

• Have ADHD, ASD, or simply feel that your brain is not neurotypical.

• Are carrying deep shame or a harsh inner critic you're ready to face

• Have been told you're "too much" - too sensitive, too angry, too perfectionist, too weird - and are done believing it  

​

Let's See If We're a Fit

I offer a free 15-minute consultation — no pressure, just a chance to see if my approach (and my personality) feel right for you.
