Hi, I’m Juliana
I’m an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) with a passion for supporting women through trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
Some of what you're carrying now started a long time ago. A loss you never fully got to grieve. A relationship that taught you to stay small. A version of "coping" that worked until it didn't. You've kept going — because that's what you do — but the past has a way of showing up in the present whether or not you invited it.
I work with women who are ready to make sense of that. Not to relive the hard things, but to understand how they've shaped you, and to loosen their grip on the life you're living now.
My work is warm, collaborative, and centered on the relationship between us. I'm not here to hand you a worksheet and a diagnosis. I'm here to be a steady presence while you figure out what you actually need — at your own pace, without judgment, and without any pressure to have it all figured out first.
I believe therapy can be a place to feel genuinely seen and understood and make sense of the experiences that have shaped who you are. My hope is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and healing from painful experiences.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe healing happens in connection, and I place the therapeutic relationship at the center of my work. I work from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens and draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and relational psychodynamic approaches. I have also completed basic training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and integrate EMDR into my work when appropriate.

How I work: I practice from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, and I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR when it fits what you're working through. If those names mean nothing to you, that's fine — you don't need to know the methods. You just need to know I'll meet you where you are.
Before Tulipa, I spent years supporting women through trauma across residential, hospitalization, and outpatient care, and worked in the nonprofit world providing crisis support, working with underserved youth, and supporting children and families impacted by a parent’s cancer. That work taught me that healing happens in connection — and that showing up, exactly as you are, is enough to start.
