Dr. Julie Barbour

“I keep attracting the same kind of partner.” “I look put together, but I’m struggling inside.” “I want more emotional connection, but I don’t know how to ask for it.” If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Many of my clients feel confused, unseen, or stuck in relationships that leave them feeling confused or ashamed, especially after growing up in rigid environments or loving someone with narcissistic traits. You’re ready for relationships and a life where you feel safe, wanted, and fully known, both to others and to yourself. I specialize in relationship issues, trauma, men’s issues, and sex therapy. I use EMDR, IFS, EFT, and psychodynamic therapy to help clients process trauma, rebuild trust, explore fetishes and desires, and overcome intimacy struggles. I also support those raised in rigid or invalidating environments who seek clarity and wholeness.
