Hi, I'm Julia! The most important thing to me is my family. I just had a baby in November and her name is Mila. She is the sweetest. I also have a supportive partner named Nick who actually encouraged me to join this program as I've been talking about it for a long time :)

I really enjoy traveling and my goal is to one day live somewhere warm (Possibly Costa Rica). I also really love cooking, yoga, walks, and taking care of my physical health.

I have been in the field for about 10 years now. I currently work in private practice where I'm encouraged to be creative in my approach. The reason why I chose this field is because mental health has played a huge role in my life. I grew up in an environment where there was a lot of stigma about mental health. I've seen how isolating it can be to have a lack of support and resources. My goal is to help people help themselves and provide those resources.

I started off as a Marriage and Family Therapist and have learned so much working with individuals, families, and couples. In the last couple years, I've felt a shift towards the school setting. My dream is to one day end up working at a school like Welch, which is where I went to elementary school. I think it's so important to have a counselor at your school that you connect with because they can play a big role in your experience, while also preparing you for different life transitions. I want Mental Health to be discussed more openly and honestly with students, and ensure that they have the right supports.
