Teletherapy for Colorado

Hi, I’m Julia (she/her). I'm glad you're here! Whether you're continuing your therapy journey or starting for the first time, I would be love to accompany you in the process of healing and growth. Therapy might be intimidating to start, but I like to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible for you. With my client-centered approach, I want to focus on what you want to talk about. It could be a recent relationship that is causing you stress or anxiety or maybe you're grieving the loss of something, I would be honored to be a listening ear to provide empathy and feedback from wherever you're coming from.

Even the best mountain climbers need help to get to the top sometimes. The mountains of life look different for everyone--grief, trauma, anxiety, feeling lost--but one thing remains the same: they feel impossible. Imagine the bitter climb to the peak, full of scrapes and bruises, feeling like the steep twisting trail will never end. Picture yourself standing at the summit, filling your lungs with the sweet air of victory. See the treacherous trail behind you, and think to yourself “I did it!” No matter your mountain, you can feel that fresh breath filling your soul. You are a conqueror, and I’m honored to climb with you.

We are constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need to do it all on our own. I have good news- you are not alone and you don't have to do it on your own! We all have a deep desire to be fully known and fully loved. It is my belief that we can't be fully known and loved by others until we fully know and love ourselves. Having a strong sense of identity and purpose allows us to heal, forgive, and move forward with clarity, hope, and tenacity.

Welcome! No matter where you are at right now, I want you to know that there is always hope. You have the power to begin your journey to heal, repair and harmonize. You are already taking the first step to grow by seeking therapy. It is in these moments where awakenings can begin. Use this moment to end your negative patterns, to discover your worth, to get out of your rut & to heal your trauma, your pain, or your inner child. My mission is to help you with just that.

I can't find meaning in my life… I don't know how to be authentic with myself or with those around me... I don't feel connected to my partner anymore... It just seems that I can't move past the shame that constantly lives within me... If any of these resonate with you, you are not alone. I see you.

With a compassionate heart and an emotion-focused approach, I am dedicated to guiding clients through their most challenging moments towards healing and transformation. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Colorado and California, I bring over 14 years of clinical experience in outpatient mental health therapy and crisis intervention. My expertise lies in helping individuals overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life stressors, and relational distress.

If you enjoy animals, nature or people, you already have a powerful foundation to create stability and momentum in your life. What you might struggle with isn't a label. It's an experience. Start where you're at, and explore it with somebody who will start there with you. Need change or just greater balance? Want more out of life? On a journey, but somehow lost? Feeling stuck, apathetic, burnt out or anxious is not uncommon! However, the tools and how to use them are not always obvious. Animal assisted, experiential, mindfulness and nature-based therapies are most clients' favorite tools.

Globally, we have been and are going through a massive growth period. We can all feel it. We can feel quite hopeless, lost and stuck at times… our next steps seem difficult to find. It seems like there is a calling in there for each of us, a way that we're being called to grow and deepen, an opportunity. It might be to have a kinder relationship with ourselves and others; or to open up to trust, surrender and letting go; or to go a different direction than we've previously been heading. We are all being called in some way. It's our job to listen. It takes courage to listen and make changes. You are not alone.

No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to live happy and fulfilling lives. Life is hard and can present us with emotional challenges we’re not sure how to process. The first step is asking for help. If you're going through the adoption process, are an adoptee (youth or adult), experiencing relationship issues (monogamous and non-monogamous), are of a marginalized community, or have a special needs child in the family, I'd love to help you process through the complex feelings that accompany your unique intersection of identities.

Are you and your partner feeling like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of disconnection? As your couples counselor, I'm here to help you both get back on the same page and bring some much-needed relief to your lives. My direct approach means we'll cut straight to the heart of the matter without any fluff or beating around the bush. We'll work together to identify the underlying issues causing tension in your relationship and develop personalized strategies to help you both reconnect!

There must be a better way! You’re feeling so overwhelmed that you’re wondering if you can keep doing this day after day. At this point, the feelings of anxiety from handling stress, finding balance, recognizing a sense of self, and setting boundaries are overwhelming. The culmination of your feelings begins to lead you to question your abilities and stir up the belief that something has to change because there must be a better way!

There are endless, effective modalities to treat and unburden pain. In the end, it boils down to being together in our vulnerability that heals us. We need each other, because this world is difficult. Trauma can impact us in such an intense way that we feel like separating ourselves. I see therapy as respite. It’s where you find yourself with a neutral partner on your journey. I strive to be someone who values your success, and listens when you’re hurting. It takes courage to share embarrassing secrets, pains, and struggles. Parts that feel better hidden and protected have a space to be themselves here and to release.
