Hi there! I am a licensed therapist. My work has been primary with children and young adults who have experienced high trauma. My focus has been treating depression, anxiety and other trauma related disorders.
Hi, I’m Julie. I have been a therapist for almost 20 years. I have experience with individuals and families who are living with mental health issues, and I also have extensive experience helping those with substance use problems. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can offer a supportive place to feel understood, begin to recover, and reconnect with yourself.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and understanding. I partner with clients to explore patterns, build coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with their values.
I can understand first-hand how difficult it can be to reach out for help for the first time. I believe in the importance of "practicing what you preach" and I have been the client in the room who needs extra support. I invite you to give yourself a chance, try something new, and gain a healthy perspective on how to address complicated moments in your life.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I’ve worked 10+ years in community mental health and social work in the Central Valley. I work with trauma, feeling stuck, depression, anxiety, adhd, relationship challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Carlsbad, CA
Searching for therapists in Carlsbad starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to focus on. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Carlsbad therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that may match what you are looking for.
Carlsbad has a smaller local therapy market than nearby San Diego, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. Some people prefer an in-person office near Carlsbad Village, Aviara, or Poinsettia, while others choose virtual therapy for easier scheduling. Beyond location, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Carlsbad can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can browse profiles, check availability, review cost estimates, and book directly when you are ready.
