Meet Julie:
Therapist for Anxiety, Trauma & Burnout in Ontario
Hi there, I’m Julie (she/her), a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with over eight years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex emotions, life transitions, and difficult experiences.
I work with people who are often the ones others rely on. You may be someone who shows up for everyone else, tries to do things “right,” and carries more than most people realize. Yet beneath the surface, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you truly need. Through online therapy, I offer a space to slow down, explore what has shaped you, and begin creating a stronger relationship with yourself through greater self-trust, boundaries, and self-compassion.
A meaningful part of my work is helping clients understand how past experiences, relationships, and learned ways of coping continue to influence how they see themselves and move through the world today. Together, we explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion while building practical tools to support meaningful change. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with who you are and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy is not about fixing something that is wrong with you. It is about understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing the experiences that have shaped you, and creating space for meaningful change.
I understand how complex and exhausting it can feel to carry things that others may not see. When you have spent years being the person who shows up, takes care of others, or pushes through challenges, it can be difficult to slow down and recognize your own needs. With over eight years of experience supporting individuals and families, I bring both clinical knowledge and a genuine appreciation for the complexity of each person’s story.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect. Together, we will explore what has been weighing on you, the ways you have learned to cope, and the experiences that continue to influence how you see yourself and your relationships. Therapy is a space where you can feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
