Therapy for Real-Life Healing in Philadelphia
We are so glad you are here!
Therapy in Philadelphia
Do you appear high-functioning on the outside—while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted on the inside?
Maybe you're stuck in long-standing patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or relationship struggles.
Perhaps you're relying on coping mechanisms—like food, alcohol, or screen time—more than you'd like.
You might be parenting under complex or stressful circumstances.
Or maybe you've been on a healing or spiritual journey, but you're not seeing the progress you hoped for.
I specialize in experiential, somatic-based therapy approaches that help you reconnect with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom—so you can heal from the inside out.
Hey, I am Julie!
Therapist • Creative • Somatic Healer
I believe healing doesn’t have to be boring—and therapy shouldn’t feel like a lecture. With over 20 years of experience, I help clients break through emotional blocks using experiential, body-based, and out-of-the-box techniques that go far beyond basic talk therapy.
This work is personal for me: it’s the same approach that helped me heal from depression and an eating disorder. Now, I’m passionate about offering that same transformation to others. My team and I create a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with joy, release what’s holding you back, and build a life that actually feels good from the inside out.

Services we offer
-
Anxiety Therapy in Phily
Anxiety can show up in sneaky ways—racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, overthinking every decision, or constantly waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, it feels like you’re barely hanging on.
In therapy, we’ll work together to untangle what’s fueling your anxiety. Whether it’s stress, past trauma, people-pleasing patterns, or just feeling stuck in “fight or flight” mode, we’ll explore what your nervous system is trying to tell you—and how to calm it down.
-
Depression Therapy
If you’re feeling heavy, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck. Depression can make even small tasks feel impossible and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the root of your pain and gently build tools to help you feel more like you again. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, past trauma, grief, or just a deep sense of numbness, we’ll create a space that’s safe, supportive, and real.
You don’t have to fake it here. Healing is possible—and it doesn’t have to be done alone.

Somatic Therapy
Sometimes talk therapy isn’t enough—because your body remembers what your mind can’t explain. Somatic therapy helps you tune into the signals your body is sending, releasing stored tension, trauma, and stress from the inside out.
Through gentle body-based practices, movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, we’ll reconnect with your nervous system and create space for true healing—not just coping. This approach is ideal if you often feel stuck, disconnected, or like your emotions live in your body (tight chest, clenched jaw, racing heart... sound familiar?).
You don’t have to relive every detail to heal. You just need a space where your body feels safe to let go.
