Julia is LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), under the well respected Minnesota State Board of Social Work. We feel fortunate to have her as she was born and raised in Michigan.
She received her Bachelor’s Degree in English and Psychology from Macalester College in St. Paul and a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Michigan.
Unique to most masters level clinicians, she also completed a 2-year post-MSW fellowship at the University of Michigan Psychological Clinic where she studied and learned under tenured clinicians who taught her Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. This has lead to strong clinical skills in her work with adults of all ages and couples.
Specialty:
Since then, she has worked in an outpatient setting seeing individuals and couples, struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, and OCD. She is especially passionate about working with young adults experiencing anxiety-related disorders and life transitions as well as couples work.
Julia is mindful of the many -isms that shape how we each experience the world, and strives to create a space that honors her clients’ lived experiences. Her therapy approach is collaborative and integrative, ultimately working to help clients build flexibility around difficult thoughts and feelings to move confidently in the direction of their values. She works primarily with adults (18+).
Outside of work, Julia enjoys getting outside whenever possible no matter the season. She can be found running, camping, reading, and crocheting with her family and friends.
