Online Therapy in Vancouver, BC

Hi, I’m Julia,

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor, endlessly passionate about the possibilities in creating a world lived from the heart.

My work is a true weaving of the practical and the subtle. In our work together, I always ensure a balance between exploration and insight, alongside practical strategies and tools to help you feel supported between our sessions.

The Four Foundations of My Work

1. Strengthening Your Inner Wisdom

I believe every person has an innate wisdom that remains present, even when an eating disorder and/or body image noise has become incredibly loud.

Together, we’ll work toward strengthening your connection to that deeper part of yourself by creating the conditions where it naturally begins to feel stronger and take up more space.

Over time, the eating disorder no longer has to be the loudest voice in the room because another part of you becomes increasingly capable of leading.

2. Helping Your Nervous System Feel Deeply Seen

Eating disorders are often far more than behaviours around food. Sometimes they become a language for experiences that never had words. Sometimes they carry emotions that once felt impossible to hold. Sometimes they protected you in ways nothing else could.

Rather than rushing to fix or eliminate those patterns, we’ll spend time becoming curious about what they have been communicating or protecting.

I believe our nervous systems often soften when experiences that have been carried alone are finally met with genuine acknowledgement, compassion, and understanding.

Sometimes the deepest healing isn’t found in having another explanation; rather, from finally feeling truly seen and witnessed in all that your system has been carrying.

When those experiences no longer have to be carried alone, your system can begin to exhale.

3. Balancing Depth with Practical Support

Insight alone rarely creates recovery.

At the same time, practical strategies without deeper healing often leave people feeling like they’re constantly managing symptoms rather than truly recovering.

My approach integrates both.

Alongside exploring the deeper roots of your relationship with food, your body, and yourself, we’ll also work on practical, tangible ways to support your recovery in everyday life.

Together we’ll navigate things like:

• meals and nourishment

• body image

• urges and behaviours

• perfectionism

• relationships

• boundaries

• emotional regulation

• returning to life outside of the eating disorder

The goal is to help you move beyond simply understanding to living life more fully and freely. 

4. Walking Alongside You

Recovery asks an incredible amount of people.

I don’t believe meaningful support always fits neatly into fifty or sixty minutes once a week.

That’s why I strive to offer care that feels thoughtful, responsive, and individualized.

For some people, weekly therapy is exactly what’s needed.

Others benefit from more comprehensive support between sessions, which is why I also offer my Recovery Package for clients who would benefit from greater continuity throughout the week.

Whatever level of support is appropriate for you, my hope is that you feel like you have someone walking alongside you, not someone trying to fix you from a distance.

Additionally, my understanding of eating disorders is both personal and professional. For many years, I was at war with my body in nearly every way. The process of finding my own way forward to a truly peaceful relationship with my body and myself has shaped how I work with others, allowing me to see beyond textbooks and labels, and to help people return to a sense of home within themselves.
