Hi, I’m Julia, and I can’t wait to walk with you!

My own life journey has carried me from one coast to the other, from my birthplace in Newfoundland to where I now reside in Squamish.

When I first got to Squamish, I owned and ran a small business (so I can empathize with all you entrepreneurs out there!) Over the past few years, I have also loved deepening my connection to our community by working with PearlSpace (formerly Howe Sound Women’s Centre) and Sea to Sky Community Services. This not only inspired my further development as a therapist, but gave me a good sense of the landscape of mental health in Squamish and the supports available to our Sea to Sky community.

Through this time, I found my own therapeutic support for challenges I encountered along the way, and it has made all the difference. This inspired me to show up for myself in new ways, and now for you! I look forward to meeting you right where you’re at — whether that be from the comfort of your home with virtual video sessions, or on trail, as we walk and talk it through, together.

I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I’m passionate about supporting both adults (18+) and couples.

I can’t wait to meet you, and to walk together on trail!

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out! I currently offer video, phone or walking counselling sessions from Whistler, BC. I’m particularly passionate these days about mentoring new nature-based therapists.

I am a graduate of the Naropa University 3 year Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy. Through this Buddhist-inspired school located in Boulder, Colorado, my studies focused on mindfulness-based, somatic and nature-based healing modalities.

Prior to my graduate studies, I completed a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, specializing in Outdoor Pursuits. This early background provided me with a strong understanding of biology, the body, the brain and the nervous system, as well as how humans perform and interact in nature, all of which I incorporate into my therapeutic practice. I believe in an integrative and collaborative approach that supports the whole person.

My approach is relational, as I truly believe that it is through relationship that we heal. My approach is to move beyond symptoms to underlying root issues, gently and with compassion. I feel most joyful when I can be present with people during their “aha!” moments, and to witness and support as they come back into connection with their own basic goodness and brilliance.

If you’re ready for a change, walking with me could be for you. I look forward to walking by your side towards optimal wellness!
