Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.
I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Do you feel like your brain is constantly running on overdrive? Maybe you’re navigating the frustrating cycle of procrastination, intense anxiety about falling behind, and the sudden rage or emotional outbursts that follow. You might feel misunderstood, labeled "lazy" or "difficult," when in reality, you are holding it together with incredible effort. If you are tired of the anxiety-depression loop, you are in the right place. I help adolescents and adults move from feeling overwhelmed and reactive to empowered and focused.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Princeton
Finding the right therapist in Princeton, NJ starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or ADHD — or whether you'd benefit from general talk therapy. Providers on Headway include licensed therapists (LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists) and psychiatrists who can prescribe medication, so you can choose the type of care that fits your situation.
Princeton has a large concentration of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still take time. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach, specialties, and what a session with them looks like. If you're unsure whether a provider is the right match, many offer a free phone consultation before your first paid session.
Therapy in the Princeton area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their coverage.
