Hi! I'm Jules. I am a trauma-informed, sex-positive, Queer allied therapist. I work with adults of all genders who struggle with stress and trauma; or have a desire to understand themselves and emotions on a deeper level. In our work together I strive for you to rediscover yourself in a healthier way and feeling empowered. This means actually feeling your feelings, understanding why you do what you do, learning self-compassion, find joy, reduce fear and shift accountability where it belongs. Putting our work into practice will enrich your relationship to self, others, and invigorate your life.
Growing up near a national park, I am consistently reminded of and influenced by the importance of nature on our physical, mental, and emotional health in my mental health practice. As an LMFT, I've worked with a variety of populations, most of whom experienced major trauma or complex trauma, and aid them in reconnecting to their sense of self and safety. I received my MS from California Lutheran University with a specialization in trauma and BA from CSU Chico. I have been licensed for 4 years and have provided therapy for the last 8 years including an associate and traineeship.
