In your first session with Julianna, you can expect a warm environment where you're invited to share as much or as little as you feel ready to. The session will involve thoughtful questions aimed at understanding what brings you to therapy and what you're looking for, all asked with genuine curiosity and compassion.
Julianna provides clients with clear direction and joins with them to create a shared path forward, reducing feelings of isolation in their healing journey.
