You're ready to heal.
And you're open to approaching it in a different way.
ONLINE TRAUMA THERAPY IN NORTH CAROLINA AND COLORADO
Talking about what happened matters. But trauma doesn't only live in the mind. It lives in the body. And working with both is where some of the deepest healing becomes possible.
That's what I do differently here.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
I can help your mind and body integrate your experiences, so you can achieve a long-lasting feeling of peace and clarity.
When our systems are overly stressed, the insight that comes from talk therapy alone only goes so far.
Neurodivergent, empathic, and highly sensitive individuals may experience the external world as especially intense, unpredictable, or difficult to filter. You may have learned to ignore physical and emotional sensations in order to survive.
But all of those experiences, if not properly processed, remain stuck. They live in your nervous system, your body, your muscle memory. And until we work there, the same patterns tend to keep coming back.
That's why I use a holistic approach, integrating EMDR, parts work, and somatic therapy.
Because you are a whole person. And you need a holistic approach to have real change at the root
WHEN YOU NEED A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Maybe you've been in therapy before. Maybe you've done a lot of work on yourself. You understand your patterns, you know where they come from, and you've built a toolkit of strategies to manage the hard moments.
And yet something still feels off.
You still find yourself stuck in the same cycles. Still feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're running on empty. Still putting on a brave face while something underneath quietly pulls at you.
You have thoughts like:
"I know what my issues are, so why can't I just change?"
"I've talked about this so much. Why don't I feel any different?"
"I'm exhausted from just getting through the day."
"I feel like I'm always surviving, never actually living."
If that sounds familiar, you're not broken, and you're not beyond help.
Through holistic, integrative work, I want to help you find deeper healing.
HOW I WORK
Every person who comes to me has a different story. But the work follows the same foundation:
We begin by assessing what's fragmented in your mind and body, and we build from there.
Building internal safety first
As we begin addressing the current symptoms you’re experiencing, you’ll likely move through some uncomfortable feelings. That’s where my holistic approach to therapy comes in. When your body and mind feel disjointed, it can be very difficult to feel safe. Your mind is saying one thing, but your body is trying to communicate another. Through emotional and somatic processing, as well as bilateral stimulation, I help you build a sense of internal safety and cohesion.
This holistic approach to your body and mind lays the foundation for EMDR.
PARTS WORK - SOMATIC
Processing what's been stored.
From there, we bring in EMDR & Somatic therapy. Bilateral stimulation along with the EMDR protocol helps the brain and nervous system integrate what hasn’t been properly processed, often material that has never been fully reached through talking alone. The body begins to release what it's been holding. Slowly, the patterns that once felt impossible to shift start to move. The mind and body work together to process what has been stored.
EMDR - SOMATIC
At your pace, always
There's no fixed protocol here. Some people are ready to go deep from the very first session. Others need months to build the foundation before we get there. I follow your lead and work at the pace your system can handle.
ATTUNED CARE
The goal throughout is the same: not just understanding what happened, but actually feeling different because of the work.
WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE
This is what I show up for every day.
Watching someone who has been carrying so much for so long finally start to put it down. Seeing the moment they stop bracing and start breathing.
When they come in and tell me they feel lighter, more like themselves, like something that had been locked up for years has finally started to move.
My clients talk about things like:
"I feel like I'm coming back to myself.""I feel like I can actually breathe.""I'm not just surviving anymore."
That's what real healing feels like. That's what I'm here to help support you to feel.
READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP
If you're ready to try a different way through, I'd love to connect. Reaching out doesn't have to mean committing to anything.
It just means starting a conversation.
Hi, I’m Julia.
I got into this work because I've seen what real healing looks like. And I've seen what it looks like when it doesn't happen.
Across every setting I've worked in, jails, inpatient hospitals, clinics, group practices, I kept meeting people who were trying so hard. Showing up, doing the work, and still feeling stuck. That stayed with me.
It's part of why I'm so drawn to EMDR, parts work, and somatic therapy. Not just as a clinician, but as someone who has done this work myself. I know what it feels like to understand something about yourself and still not feel any different. I also know what it feels like when something finally shifts, when the body starts to release what it's been holding onto for years.
That's what I want for the people I work with.
Watching someone who has spent years just surviving start to actually live. Seeing them feel lighter, more like themselves. Knowing that one person's healing ripples out into everything around them.
That's why I show up every day.
This is my guiding philosophy to therapy.
The body and mind are not separate.
Addressing thoughts alone doesn't get us to the deepest healing. Trauma, stress, and mental health issues are a full-body issue. Bringing the body into the healing process is what allows the deepest patterns to finally shift.
The goal is to move what's been stuck, not just manage it.
I want more for my clients than just getting through the week. For people carrying long-term or complex trauma, there's often material that hasn't been fully reached yet. That's what I'm focused on, helping the body and nervous system actually process and release what's been stored there.
Healing isn't linear, and there's no fixed protocol.
Some people are ready to go deep from the very first session. Others need months to build the foundation before we get there. I follow your lead. The work moves at the pace your system can handle, and that looks different for everyone.
Meeting you where you are.
Every person who walks in brings a different story, a different history, and a different set of needs. I'm not here to fit you into a framework. I'm here to actually get to know you and figure out together what you need.
The relationship is part of the healing.
I genuinely care about the people I work with. Feeling safe, understood, and not judged in the room matters enormously. That connection is something I take seriously in every single session.
What’s next?
You can reach out to me for a 15-minute free consultation or, if you'd prefer, schedule a full session to give it a try.
Either way, we will have a chance to see if therapy with me is the right fit for you.
I'll have you share however much you're comfortable with, I'll ask some questions, and we'll decide how to proceed together.
