Other Information
Julia has worked for over a decade as an MRI technologist (and still does) which has created a fascination with neuroscience and its application to psychology. Luckily, neuroscience research is currently a major factor in improving how therapists can better help clients. This knowledge and research bridges the gap for her between the two professions.
When not studying or working, Julia enjoys a variety of creative pursuits such as watercolor and mixed media collage. When appropriate, she enjoys integrating creative expression into her therapeutic work.
