Julie works with children, teenagers, adults, families and couples seeking counseling. Julie aligns with the theory of Emotionally Focused Therapy and believes that emotion is the body's expression of need. 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.

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".

In life, change is inevitable. Sometimes we want it, and sometimes we don't. Sometimes it comes easy, and sometimes it's among the hardest thing we'll ever try to do. Themes central to experiencing change include tolerating uncertainties, having safe supportive others who can witness and support change, and having choice on the kinds of support needed to make sustainable change. I'm pleased to offer Psychotherapy to residents in the State of Montana, as well as Programs and Collective Healing Communities.

When conflict occurs does one partner need space to process and the other want to talk things out? Can this difference cause even more issues in your relationship? 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? I help couples and individuals understand their negative pattern, then create the change they desire.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
