Welcome! My name is Julianna, and I am a compassionate and caring Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A). My work is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming and warm space for individuals to look inward and be unconditionally supported as we navigate through whatever brings you to Achieve Wellness. Through an integrative treatment approach, using modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy, I have experience working with children and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem concerns and sports performance anxiety. While working together, I will help you gain the tools and confidence to face whatever life challenges you are experiencing.
My approach to treatment centers around guiding clients as they set meaningful goals and uncover personal values that resonate most deeply with them. In session with me, you can expect to be met with a compassionate, client-centered approach, where we will explore your unique experiences and how this affects your current life challenges. We will collaborate as I empower you with the tools and skills you need to realize your full potential, while achieving goals that align best with your personal values.
I also offer specialized support for individuals experiencing sports performance anxiety. As a previous collegiate athlete, I strive to help athletes enhance their mental resilience and optimize their performance on the field. With my goal setting and value-based interventions, I help athletes manage anxiety and build confidence on and off the playing field.
