Julia believes that you are the expert on yourself. Julia feels that her job is to help you discover tools and strengths that already exist within. She aims to support you in letting go of strategies and narratives that are no longer beneficial; and together, she plans to guide clients towards developing new insights, instill healthier core beliefs, and practice new skills to assist you in meeting your goals.
Building comfort and rapport within sessions is a primary importance to Julia, and she will move at a pace that is authentic to our work and your ability. Julia strives to create a warm, respectful, supportive, empathic, challenging (when needed), and non-judgmental space where you openly be yourself.
She truly believes that healing, change, and growth is a holistic process. She works from an eclectic trauma informed approach, integrating CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gottman-Level 1 Techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS/ “parts work”), and Solution-Focused techniques based on your unique needs. In addition, Julia is able to discuss natural options that help alleviate symptoms, promote mental health, and assist the work done in session.
Effective February 2, 2026, Authentic Growth Wellness Group will transition to Private Pay and remain in-network only with BCBS PPO & BlueChoice PPO plans. We’ll no longer be in-network with Aetna, Cigna, or UnitedHealthcare.
This change helps us continue offering high-quality, accessible, and sustainable care for our clients and clinicians.
