Welcome
Hello, and welcome to my site. It's nice to meet you.
I’m a Del Mar-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years’ experience serving children, teens, adults and families.
I believe my job is to work towards building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients, with an honest, genuine and playful approach.
While I create a safe and supportive environment, I will meet you where you are, with compassion and the tools of best practices to help you move out of your current struggles.
I facilitate a process of strength-based growth increasing self-awareness, insight and mindfulness.
I enjoy my work with my clients very much and feel energized by our time together. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your personal therapy goals.
MyTESTIMONIALS
Julia has been beyond helpful to me in my journey to improve my overall mental health through therapy. With her help, I have achieved my goals ten times over. Speaking as someone who has experience with other therapists, she has been by far the most understanding, kind and relatable I have come across. If you are looking for actual results, I highly recommend her. - 16 yr old Female
Julia created a safe and nurturing environment for our teenage son as he worked through some of life’s struggles. She is insightful and sensitive to individual needs and fosters the skills needed to help individuals and families build stronger relationships and work through trials. Julia’s compassion and knowledge is helping our family immensely. We feel so blessed to have found her. - Parents of 16 yr old Male
I have been seeing Julia as a therapist for 5 years, and found her to be both insightful and caring. She has shown an aptitude toward quickly recognizing issues and identifying possible solutions, but then nudging towards possible solutions, as opposed to being judgmental and overbearing. Her persistence in seeking solutions and unwavering positive outlook have caused her to stand out from others I have seen over the years. - 60 yr old Male -
Julia Kitts has been an invaluable part of our son’s treatment team for over six years. We came to her after several other health care practitioners were not able to effectively make a difference in our son’s symptoms. Julia formed a wonderful relationship with our son and has ushered him through elementary school into high school while keeping pace with his changing issues. Julia understands the stress that a child’s diagnosis places on the whole family and is available for support accordingly. Our son looks forward to his special time with Julia and values their relationship tremendously (it takes a village). Thanks to Julia’s skill and caring our son has learned lifelong lessons and coping skills and understands how to access resources and manage his symptoms. - Parents of 14 yo male
Remembering Pumpkin
We recently lost Pumpkin, my rescue turned Therapy Dog. She was a very calm, affectionate companion who loved coming to work with me, and helped so many. #RIPPumpkin
