Welcome, my name is Julia
I am a drama therapist and Canadian certified counsellor based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal.
I welcome older children & adolescents (aged 11 and up) and adults to my practice.
No two lived experiences are the same, and I value offering a person-centered approach that honours the diversity of our lives.
I invite you to take a look at my services to see if my approach and values are right for you.
