Meet Julie

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…

  • The weight youth and teens carry today: peer pressure, fitting in, bullying and cyberbullying, social anxiety, body image, and the heartbreak of early relationships.

  • Teens asserting independence while processing big emotions, and the families supporting them through differing opinions, defiance, and overwhelm.

  • Everyday family dynamics, including separation, divorce, financial stress, blending with new partners, and sibling friction after a new baby arrives.

  • Adult mental health and life transitions: anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, later-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses like ADHD, and career burnout that erodes self-esteem.

  • Translating behavioural health research into practical, compassionate care for adults, teens, and families who are hurting.

My cultural or ancestral background is…

  • South Asian, which gives me a lived appreciation for the intergenerational dynamics, unspoken expectations, and identity gaps that individuals face in our community.

My clients describe me using words like…

  • Compassionate

  • Grounded

  • Insightful

  • Practical

My clients often self-identify as…

  • Individuals living with persistent sadness, panic, trauma, low self-esteem, or career burnout.

  • High-achievers struggling with imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, boundary-setting, procrastination, or a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis.

  • Teens and youth navigating academic pressure, social struggles, cyberbullying, identity crises, body image and disordered eating, self-harm, substance use, and the emotional toll of social media.

  • Parents and families caught in ongoing conflict or major transitions, including separation, co-parenting through divorce, blending new partners, sibling rivalry, or a teen's growing independence.

I’m the right therapist for you if…

  • You feel weighed down by self-criticism, are coping with past trauma or grief, or are searching for purpose during a major life transition.

  • You're a parent watching your teen withdraw, and you want to close the communication gap before frustration takes over your home.

  • Your family is navigating the fallout of financial stress, divorce, or a shifting family structure, and you need a calm, steady guide to help restore stability.

  • You or a loved one is in severe distress, including self-harm or suicidal thoughts, and you need a safe, experienced clinical ally.

Booking FAQ

Does Julie offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Julie is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
