Let me help you reconnect and come home to yourself and your inner resources. My work is an integrative, holistic and collaborative exploration of my clients experiences and issues. I have found that profound growth and transformation can occur within a safe and nurturing environment.

I’m Julane Andries and I believe in our innate capacity to heal. Although sometimes that capacity needs more nurturing, forgiving and fertile ground. I emphasize a safe and trusting relationship to initiate that process. I use ketamine assisted psychotherapy, and know that ketamine and other psychedelic medicines can assist in more rapid and complete healing.

Despite being in love, committed, loyal, and giving - life is hard and your relationship is full of broken promises, fighting, lack of connection, ruined holidays, and stressful vacations. Your constant concern for your loved one gets in the way of the life you want in so many ways. You feel guilty for being frustrated and drained. And you're worried that taking care of yourself is selfish and may lead to disaster. But you're running on empty, and you don't know how much more you can take.

My focus is on relationships, the relationships we have with ourselves and others, and what is blocking them from feeling joy. I work with individuals and couples primarily focusing on the communication styles and how to improve upon them. I work with the hope of each relationship eventually finding different ways to cope, deepen, and advance into something different and rewarding. I feel all of our experiences in life have led to this moment. Whether the experience was a good one, or a bad one, they have informed our decisions about how to move forward.

Seeking help takes courage & thoughtfulness. You may feel old difficulties have resurfaced or painful events keep reoccurring despite your best efforts to make things better. You may feel frustrated that you are at a place where things improve for a short time but don't stay stable or good for long. Perhaps life has changed for you in unexpected ways and now there is less peace, less joy and more heartache or confusion. Persistent, intense feelings inside yourself or with your partner/spouse/child/family may be too much to bear. An experienced, supportive, well-trained psychologist like myself, can make make an enormous difference.

Welcome. If you have found yourself here you are probably looking for relief. My passion and experience focuses around helping others find clarity and balance. We each have different histories, needs, patterns of thinking, and struggles. All of us develop strategies of protecting ourselves that have been useful in the past but have become outdated. It's important that we move toward ways that currently work; that help guide us toward the most peace and happiness possible. Guiding individuals toward getting to know, accept, and thrive in one's own self and in relationship is something I am dedicated to.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
