My name is Juliana (Jules) and I am an MSW therapist. In therapy I focus on supporting individuals that have been affected by certain diagnoses, disabilities, or events to help them live their most healthy and authentic life. Having grown up with a brother with developmental disabilities, I believe that everyone has admirable qualities about them and that everyone has their own unique qualities and ways of processing the world. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but am especially passionate about working with kids and teens. From my own personal experience, I understand what having a family member with a disability can bring to a family dynamic and aim to support families and siblings in their own journey. I believe therapy can make any family stronger with the right tools and communication.
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space to talk about challenges and successes with the individual's goals in mind. I am collaborative in my therapy style in order to find what works best for each individual client. I take into account that no one experience is the same and that we all process differently. I’m here to support you in any way that I can whether it is big or small- everything is worth talking about if it’s important to you.
