About Julia

• Julia has a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology
• She welcomes all clients with a safe, empathetic place to explore their concerns, develop new skills, gain new perspectives and enhance their wellness.
• Julia uses a person-centered, integrative approach intended to be adapted to the needs of the individual client. She draws from a number of therapeutic frameworks   including:  interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapies, and emotion-based therapies.
• Julia has developed a significant interest in Trauma treatment. In particular, developmental trauma, Complex Trauma and Religious Trauma.
• She has specialized advanced education in Attachment Focused EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. 

Julia has worked for over a decade as an MRI technologist (and still does) which has created a fascination with neuroscience and its application to psychology. Luckily, neuroscience research is currently a major factor in improving how therapists can better help clients. This knowledge and research bridges the gap for her between the two professions. 

When not studying or working, Julia enjoys a variety of creative pursuits such as watercolor and mixed media collage. When appropriate, she enjoys integrating creative expression into her therapeutic work.
