of you
individual and relational therapy for mental health and WELL-BEING.
Life can leave you feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed.
But you don’t need to stay there.
I invite you to inquire within. It's time to reconnect with the wisdom you carry within you. Your body carries terabytes of information that you haven't tapped into or perhaps don't yet have access to. I'm here to help you realize that the answers are already there. We might just need to shine some light on the shadows (the things you've been turning away from or feel too scary to look at). Acknowledging and integrating those parts of your Self that have been ignored or tucked away can lead to more authentic ways of showing up in your relationships with yourself, with others, and with our planet. The results? You stand to live a more fulfilling life, using the tools and wisdom of your body, mind, spirit and communities.
hi i’m julio.
I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English), bi-cultural, licensed marriage, couple and family therapist who focuses on helping people navigate relationships, addiction recovery, trauma, non-ordinary states of consciousness and attachment strategies. My focus is on integrating the wisdom of the body in the process of talk therapy, using both to support you on your way. I walk beside you, not in front of you, in the process of creating a safe environment for your story to unfold, leading us to a more integrated, whole, and authentic you.
How can i support you?
individual therapy
Are you feeling dissatisfied, lost, or uncertain in life? As uncomfortable as it feels, this is part of life. I’m here to support your journey to the fullest expression of you in the midst of it. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, fatigue, sudden change, or want to address your addiction and strengthen your recovery, I’m your guy. Individual Therapy can help you gain clarity, develop awareness and make transformative shifts in your life. My approach is holistic and attends to your mind, body, spirit, relationships, and communities.
Relationship Therapy
Are you and your partner feeling disconnected or stuck? Maybe you’re at an impasse, and don’t know where to go next? Perhaps you just want to build a strong foundation together. Couples Therapy allows you to step into the relationship you desire. Slowing down and getting curious about the dance of your relationship can teach us a lot about what is working, and what is not. My approach integrates Relational Life Therapy, Emotion Focused Couple Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to support your goals for the relationship.
Recovery Support
Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping or other behaviors, addiction takes away our sense of connection, purpose, and meaning. It limits and hijacks our life in painful and destructive ways. I can support you in finding the right level of care for you or in addressing issues underlying addiction for a sustainable recovery. Addictions may often manifest in different ways even after we are in recovery. I believe that by resolving underlying trauma or attachment issues, addiction will no longer have a reason to show up in destructive ways.
Psychedelic Integration
Have you experienced non-ordinary states of consciousness and are looking for a place to integrate your insights? Are you looking for support in reducing harm when engaging in these experiences? Psychedelic Integration supports the process of incorporating the material and insights of psychedelic experiences into your life in a way that benefits you and your communities. Having relational support throughout this process can be helpful in making meaningful changes in your everyday life after these potentially transformative experiences.
My approach
My approach is somatic, client-centered, compassionate, relational, and collaborative. I draw from several modalities including: Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Relational Life Therapy, ACT, Language of Emotions, and Motivational Interviewing.
