Stop chasing the next best thing
Do what makes you come alive.
Online Therapy for Residents of Oregon & Washington
You’re accomplished, thoughtful, and creative—and still feel anxious in close relationships, struggle to know what you want, or regularly second-guess your own judgment.
You’ve built a life you’re proud of, but your relationships, work, or sense of self-belief aren’t what you want them to be.
More ease. More connection. More room for what matters to you.
You keep questioning yourself. You want to understand why.
Hi! I’m Julia. I offer warm, engaged individual therapy for adults who struggle with anxiety, recurring problems in relationships, and questions of identity and purpose.
You may second-guess yourself, struggle to express your needs, or keep running into the same relationship problems, even with different partners. You rehearse how to bring something up, then leave the conversation wondering whether you said it wrong. You agree to something you don’t want, then later notice you feel resentful. After an argument, you spend hours trying to decide whether your feelings are reasonable—or whether you’re asking too much.
That pressure shows up at work, too. You receive positive feedback but keep thinking about the one thing you could have done better. You take on another responsibility when you’re already stretched because saying no feels like letting someone down. Even when things go well, you struggle to relax and enjoy them.
You may have reached a point where you’re questioning what all that effort is for. You’ve built a career, committed to a relationship, or become the person others expect you to be—and now you’re trying to distinguish what you actually want from what you’ve learned to do well. You want to make changes, but you don’t yet know what those changes should look like.
Find out where you’re getting stuck. See new ways forward.
In therapy, we’ll get curious about what you really want and what keeps getting in the way. I’ll listen closely to the situations you describe and help you sort out what happened, how you felt, and what you needed. We’ll look at why you hold back, what makes it difficult to trust your judgment, and how you end up taking responsibility for things that aren’t yours to manage.
We’ll also recognize and build on your innate strengths. Your sensitivity helps you notice what others miss. Your persistence helps you follow through. But noticing someone’s disappointment doesn’t mean you have to fix it, and being able to handle more doesn’t mean you have to take it on.
I’ll support you in building skills and taking concrete steps towards the changes you want: saying what you need without rehearsing every possible response, setting a limit without spending the evening feeling guilty, or making a decision based on your priorities rather than everyone else’s expectations.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and a sense of humor to our conversations. I’ll ask questions, share what I notice, and gently challenge you when I see something worth examining. You’ll have room to be honest, think aloud, and figure things out with someone who is engaged in the conversation and invested in your growth.
