After nearly 20 years experience as a Licensed Counselor specializing in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I now focus the next phase of my career on training and supervising new therapists in the practice of Mindfulness and meditation, CBT, and DBT. I am dedicated to providing the highest quality mental health services to our community.
The Next Level Mind
In my personal practice, I am dedicating my energy on guiding my clients to the next level. In addition to continuing to provide traditional therapy, I will also be accepting new clients who wish to truly embrace the path of enlightenment. We will work on increasing awareness, trauma healing, spiritual awareness, energetic healing, guidance, grounding, and up leveling. We will learn the practice of meditation and the power of vision and desire.
Our strength comes from our struggles and they prepare us for what is yet to come. Creating the next level of results demands the next level of thinking and every next level of your life requires a new version of you. I will help you identify your vision and support you in that process that will feel uncomfortable. I would love to connect with you and can't wait.
If this speaks to you, you are ready.
Sorry! Julia is not accepting new clients.
The connection between the mind, body and spirit is one of the primary foundations of all good health, mental and physical. It’s important, then, to not only understand how these connections are made but to strengthen them and work to build positive, healthy relationships between our physical and mental selves.
I work with clients to understand the relationship between how we think, feel, behave and interact with our environments, including the people around us. In both individual and group settings, I teach clients to use Mindfulness to create balance, which helps us tolerate distress, regulate emotions and strengthen interpersonal relationships. In working to develop a strong sense of self, we increase confidence and learn that we have power over our thoughts, choices and actions.
We can choose to be our best selves through a balance of acceptance of self and actionable striving for change. I use this holistic approach to inspire, empower and motivate clients toward their best selves. By trusting this process and their own innate goodness, clients learn to harness their own personal power and create long-term, lasting change within their lives.
A native of Arizona, I have two sons and a labradoodle who keep me busy outside of my practice and have a passion for health and wellness. I love travel, exploring different places and, always, meeting new people. I love my job and the counseling profession as a whole, as it enables me to combine my passions for people and health and wellness in a way that allows me to create positive change in my community.
I hold a BS in Psychology from ASU and a Master of Counseling from University of Phoenix (2002). My passion for therapy began during my two-year postgraduate residency program, and I have completed intensive training in Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and EMDR. I use these forms of therapy and others to create individual plans for clients best suited to their needs, personalities and goals. My approach to therapy is much like life: fluid and open.
