Juliana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly twenty years of experience supporting adults and families through complex emotional and life challenges. She earned her MSW in Clinical Global Practice from Boston College and began her career in Vietnam, working alongside local social workers addressing trauma related to child trafficking. This early work shaped her commitment to multicultural practice, social justice, and trauma‑informed care, and continues to guide her approach today.

She specializes in helping clients navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, caregiver stress, severe mental illness, immigration‑related concerns, grief, and loss. Juliana is LGBTQ‑aligned and passionate about neurodiversity‑affirming care, drawing from her own lived experience with ADHD to honor the unique ways each brain and nervous system works. Her style is curious, collaborative, and person‑centered, grounded in the belief that healing begins within a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship.

Juliana’s primary modality is EMDR, which she uses to help clients process and integrate traumatic experiences. She also incorporates CBT, attachment‑based work, and solution‑oriented approaches to build insight, strengthen resilience, and offer practical tools for daily life. Clients often experience reduced distress, improved coping skills, greater self‑acceptance, and more fulfilling relationships as they move toward living in alignment with their values.

She works with adults whose challenges often stem from early experiences, attachment wounds, or complex trauma. Many clients seek her support when they feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, low self‑confidence, emotional disconnection, or self‑sabotaging behaviors. Juliana provides a steady, nonjudgmental space to make sense of these experiences, establish safety, and rebuild trust in oneself. Together, you focus on strengths, values, and practical strategies that foster clarity, resilience, and meaningful growth.
