By helping clients unlock hidden motivations, raise self-awareness, and solve problems through exploration, Dr. Julia ensures they thrive both in their current careers and in the next chapter of their lives.

A consultant to the Canadian Sport Institute and former affiliate of the Canadian Centre for Mental Health in Sport, Dr. Julia combines her academic rigor with a personable, empathetic approach.
