She went on to medical school only to discover that it was not exactly her cup of tea. After making the difficult decision to leave what seemed like her dream, she dusted herself off and did some serious soul-searching. In the process, Julia rediscovered her calling to be a psychotherapist – to help people get to the core of their problems. She also gained life experience (and did some major traveling) while working in marketing and psychiatric research. After completing all of the coursework toward her Master of Science degree in Counseling at the University of North Texas, she became a graduate intern at the LifeWorks Group in January.

Julia works with individuals, couples and families and especially enjoys helping people get to the root of difficult and often painful problems to find healing, authenticity and peace. As an individual who spent much time searching for her own calling, Julia enjoys helping people find meaning and purpose in both vocation and life.

Julia lives in Fort Worth with her significant other, Ryan, and their two Corgis, Evie and Opal. When not at work in the Fort Worth office, she spends her free time outdoors running with the dogs, riding her bike, or getting yelled at by her fitness boot camp trainer. She continues to make art and has even been able to get creative with her clients using art therapy techniques. Fulfilling her role as a “lifetime student,” she will soon continue her education at the University of North Texas as a doctoral student.
