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.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PsA, I approach my practice with a person-centered and holistic perspective, guiding clients to identify and pursue solutions in every facet of their lives. My commitment is to create a space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions freely, fostering a collaborative journey towards growth and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Newark, NJ
Finding family therapists in Newark starts with clarifying what your family wants support with. Family therapy may help address parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family behavioral concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that describe experience with your specific concerns, family structure, and preferred approach to care.
In Newark, the right fit may depend on both location and session structure. Some families prefer an office that is easy to reach from home, school, or work, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling simpler across multiple calendars. Attendance can vary by session and may include the full family, parent-child pairs, siblings, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on availability, approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered, so you can ask how sessions are typically structured.
Family therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, may accept a range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
