Julie works with children, teenagers, adults, families and couples seeking counseling.

Exploration of triggers and behaviors related to emotion allow the client to begin to better understand themselves and how they relate to others. Connection and comfort are key to feeling safe and loved and in having a sense of belonging. Identifying emotions, learning to experience the emotion, and gaining awareness of what emotions arise are steps in accepting the given of life, being vulnerable, and sustaining connection.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults.
For 13 years I have been working in a variety of therapeutic, medical and educational settings to provide the care that individuals need to work through life's difficult moments. With a strong background in medical social work, I provide healthcare counseling for those affected by chronic pain, long term illness and disease, new medical diagnosis, sleep disorders, grief/loss, anxiety, and depression. I base treatment off of current research and science based approaches to healing, and work closely with the other health care providers on an individual's team to help providers better understand the complex relationship between mental and physical health.

My practice is geared toward working with adults struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, struggles with interpersonal relationships, divorce, life changes, and other existential crises.
Growth and healing are best achieved within the context of a relationship. As a therapist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to connect with my clients on a deep level in order to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. I believe we our the expert of our own experience, and I seek to empower my client's in finding their own voice on the way to health and healing while providing guidance and support along the path. From a depth perspective, I take seriously the power of the unconscious, dreams, and synchronicities in a holistic, integrative approach which looks deeper than the surface level of the symptoms.

Limited daytime openings available in October. Imagine a world where growing up was easy and adulting was just as simple? There would be no peer relationship struggles, everyone had great self-esteem, angelic behaviors abounded, and traumatic life events never occurred. Heck, even our work and home lives were a breeze, we all had uncomplicated relationships, and mental health concerns did not exist. Unfortunately, we do face hard things. Therapy is a way to get help, guidance, and relief as you walk through the daily challenges of life. Are you ready for change? I bet you are!

I believe people are good at their core. Past pain and hurtful experiences can lead us to cause damage to relationships or feed unhealthy habits. I believe we are all mostly trying our best with what we know. Therapy can be used to process experiences, digest big decisions or to learn new skills to communicate more effectively with loved ones. Ultimately, I want therapy to empower you to navigate whatever comes your way in the future, with confidence.

Therapy should be a welcoming place where you feel safe, accepted, and understood. So many people hesitate to reach out for help because they fear they’ll have a bad experience, or have tried therapy in the past, only to feel it didn’t work. While the type of treatment is important, it really comes down to the connection you share with your therapist. That’s why I start with an open, non-judgmental space where we can get to know each other. If it’s a good match, we can begin your unique healing journey together. Ultimately you are the one who knows yourself best and I’m here to support you as you tap into that inner wisdom.

My favorite part about being a counselor is watching people heal and grow into healthier versions of themselves. I provide support for those who have experienced Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and Substance Abuse. I am trained in EMDR therapy, which is my favorite way to address Trauma and heal the nervous system. I believe that nearly everyone has been through some form of Trauma and it can be the root cause of many other mental health conditions.

In life we encounter experiences that conceal our potential to flourish or succeed and this can make us feel stuck or helpless in a sense of suffering, struggling to get by. These blocks can come in many forms: traumatic experiences, negative messages we receive, illness, relationship patterns, grief, depression, anxiety, among others. Together we can work to find the root of the issue and find healing. I work to serve as a mirror to my clients, reflecting insights about patterns, internal dialog, and behaviors that are hard to "see".

Can you predict the outcome of arguments with your loved one based on a repeated pattern? Does one partner need space after an argument and the other want to hash things out? Can this difference cause even more issues? Has there been cheating, family conflict, or other pain points impacting your marriage or relationship? Are you wanting peace in your relationships and can't figure out how to achieve that beyond what you have tried already?
