Talk Therapy with Julia

Julia is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who has witnessed the positive effects of talk therapy in her own life and that of clients. In addition to a 30-year career as a Movement and Rehab coach, her work as a talk therapist utilizes skills in building meaningful alliances that change lives. Julia trained at the University of Toronto (where she received the prestigious Billes Scholarship). She interned in the mental health, medicine, and emergency wards at MacKenzie Health, where she provided individual and family counselling on various issues. Since 2024, she has worked as a psychotherapist. 

Living in our busy and complex world challenges our relationships at home and work and affects our sense of self. The way we think and feel about each turn along our path can dramatically impact our sense of health and happiness. Therapy gives us enough support to begin living from the part of us that feels safe and secure, regulated and empowered. With treatment, you can become more present, strengthen relationships, and embrace your true self—ultimately becoming a better partner, friend, leader, and parent. 

Julia works with clients to nurture self-acceptance and compassion as a foundation for creating change. She works from an attachment-based, relational framework and fosters health through mindfulness, somatic inquiry, and emotional literacy. 

Symptoms addressed can include anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionist tendencies, depression or worry, and trauma. Living in the present moment can improve our experience of self, and understanding our past can give us new tools to find our feet. Julia’s clients want to understand themselves, find meaning in their lives, and rediscover a sense of ease and comfort within their skin. Doing the work is hard but hopeful. 

Please reach out to get started. Complimentary 15-minute consultations are provided to ensure that the client and therapist are a good fit.
