Julia Jackson, MSW
Registered Social Worker
“Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood, judged, or “too much” in the past. My role is to offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying. I work with adolescents and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, mood and personality disorders, addiction, anger, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. I also have a strong interest in supporting individuals exploring identity, 2SLGBTQ+ experiences, transgender concerns, and consensual non-monogamous relationships.”
