-Work-life balance
-Communication skills
-Flexibility and freedom from perfectionism & people pleasing

-Values-driven action
-Mindfulness

People come to counseling and coaching for many reasons but some of the issues that my clients have addressed with me include:
-Eating Disorders, emotional eating and disordered eating
-Mindful Eating & Intuitive Eating
-Weight management
-Over-exercise, exercise addiction, and exercise aversion
-Anxiety related eating concerns, e.g. OCD, rigid eating, rule-based eating, fear of food
-Relationship difficulties

Finding the right therapist is a lot like dating - the right fit matters. You deserve to feel safe, heard, respected, and challenged in a way that helps you grow.

It’s okay to ask questions. It’s okay to trust your gut. And it’s definitely okay to keep looking until it feels right. The right therapeutic relationship can make all the difference.

Therapy isn’t always breakthroughs and big realizations… sometimes it’s nervous laughs, “I don’t know,” and accidentally unpacking your entire childhood in 50 minutes.

How many can you check off? Be honest.

(And yes, showing up counts as a win every time.)

You can’t think your way out of an emotion.

We often try to analyze, rationalize, or “logic” our way through feelings like anxiety, sadness, or anger. But emotions aren’t problems to solve, they’re experiences to move through.

Instead of fighting the feeling, try noticing it. Name it. Breathe through it. Give it space to exist without needing to immediately fix it.

Sometimes healing starts when we stop trying to outthink our emotions and start allowing ourselves to feel them.

Little things we’ve been loving on the internet lately 💭✨

Saving, sharing, and revisiting the reminders that help us slow down, reflect, and take care of ourselves.

Consider this your sign to curate your feed with things that actually support your mental health.

Your social media feed is part of your mental environment.

What you scroll, like, and follow every day shapes how you see yourself and the world. If certain accounts leave you feeling drained, insecure, or stuck in comparison, it’s okay to unfollow, mute, or step back.

Curating your feed isn’t petty, it’s self-care. Protect your peace, follow what inspires you, and remember that your mental health matters more than anyone else’s content.

Eating disorders thrive in silence.

This week and every week - we name them, we talk about them, and we remind you that you are not “too much” or “not sick enough.”

If your relationship with food or your body feels exhausting, you deserve support. Healing is possible - even if part of you is scared to let go.

Healing your relationship with food and your body isn’t about willpower, it’s about compassion, support, and understanding the patterns that shaped you.

Julia works with adults and adolescents navigating eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her collaborative, trauma-informed approach integrates ACT, DBT, ERP, and mindful eating to help clients build sustainable coping skills and move toward a more values-aligned life.

Change is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
