About Julia

Hi! I'm Julia. I am a relationship therapist for individuals and couples who are looking to strengthen their relationships with each other or those they are surrounded by every day. I provide in-person therapy through Bridge Family Therapy located in Athens, GA. I also provide virtual therapy to all Georgia residents. My specialty areas are family of origins issues, marital/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, self-esteem, and developing deeper self understanding.

I received my Master of Professional Counseling from the MPCAC -accredited counseling program at the University of Georgia. Currently, I am a pre-licensed counselor in the state of Georgia under the supervision of Debbie Smith (LPC, CPCS). I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have been trained in culturally competent counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Addictions Counseling. 

Client-Centered Approach

My philosophy as a therapist is that you are the expert in your own life! With this in mind, I will trust you to guide me through the areas of concern that you want to focus our sessions on. I will meet these concerns with you as we develop a new set of tools for you to address these concerns in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to you. 

Specialties

While I work with a range of client concerns, I specialize in working with individuals struggling with attachment issues, family of origin trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and marital/relationship difficulties.

Individual Therapy

I have a passion for working with the younger adult population (16 - 35 y/o). Self-discovery is a huge part of young adulthood and therapy can provide a safe place to truly explore your needs and who your most authentic self truly is! As an individual therapist, I utilize a mix of psychodynamic and emotion-focused therapy to contextualize present experiences through the lens of our past experiences to develop deeper self understanding. 

Couples Therapy

As a couples therapist, I ascribe to the Gottman Method of couples therapy. This method of therapy is routed in evidence based practices that help couples create a deeper sense of understanding for their partners. Additionally, I use attachment theory to work with couples who are struggling with connecting to one another due to negative past experiences.

If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, you can ask during your free phone consultation or anytime during our work together.

Nervous about Therapy

It can be overwhelming to start the therapeutic process. Know that you are not alone in this feeling and that choosing to start this journey is extremely brave and courageous.
