You may be holding it all together on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. Maybe you're a new mom in the fog of sleepless nights, wondering why no one told you it would feel this hard. Maybe you're in perimenopause and suddenly don't recognize your own moods. Either way, you don't have to figure this out alone.

I'm Julie Sitomer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I help women through the in-between seasons of life: the times when things don't look the way you imagined and you're not sure what comes next.

Does any of this sound familiar?

If you're a new mom

• You love your baby, and you're also overwhelmed, tearful, or on edge.
• You can't switch off the worry, even when the baby is asleep.
• You miss the person you were before, and feel guilty for saying so.

If you're in perimenopause

• You're snapping at the people you love and don't know why.
• Your sleep, memory, or mood have changed and you feel unlike yourself.
• You've been told it's "just hormones" and still don't feel heard.

You're not failing, and you're not too sensitive. You're in one of life's biggest transitions, and it deserves real support.

How therapy with me works

Sessions are warm, honest, and shaped around you. Some feel like a deep conversation with someone who understands. Others bring in practical tools: CBT to untangle anxious thinking, mindfulness to calm your nervous system, and Brainspotting to work through experiences that talking alone doesn't reach. We move at your pace and focus on what matters most to you.

Where I work

I see women in-person at my Agoura Hills office, including women from Calabasas, Westlake Village, and nearby communities. I also offer secure video sessions for women anywhere in California and Washington. I also support teen girls, parents, and women facing infertility.

Let's talk

The first step is a free 15-minute call. We'll talk about what you're going through, and you can decide whether I'm the right fit. There's no pressure and nothing to prepare.
