Beginning counseling can feel daunting, but it’s a courageous step toward growth and exploring ways to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to offer a compassionate space where you can acknowledge difficulties, gain clarity, and voice thoughts you might not have shared before. I’m passionate about working with grief, depression, trauma, and life transitions, and I’m curious about how these experiences show up in your life. I aim to normalize our diverse human experiences while highlighting their universal aspects. Together, we'll recognize and build on your existing inner strengths and introduce new skills that resonate with you.

I currently works with individuals ( teens and adults) and families.
Each of us have deep-seeded value and deserve to be connected to our whole selves. Often, past experiences of trauma and suffering not only impact our beliefs, behaviors, and relationships, but disconnect us from ourselves. Discovering ourselves can be difficult, but it is an essential part of healing. Our capacity for growth and change is possible with understanding and compassion.

Hi. I’m so glad you’re here. You’ve taken a crucial and courageous step towards healing. If you are new to therapy, I know it can feel awkward and maybe even intimidating. It’s okay. Together we will take it one step at a time. It will be challenging at times, but I will be here to support and guide you along the way. And, it will also be interesting and fun as you discover more about yourself and develop new skills.

We are not what happened to us. We are what we choose to become - Carl Jung. Do you find yourself in a position where you are constantly battling yourself? Do you question who you are, what you need, and how you can feel well? Are you often reminded by the past so much that a future of peace seems unimaginable? Or maybe you are concerned about your child. You do your best, but sometimes your best just doesn’t seem good enough. Day-to-day life may be becoming unmanageable.

I have worked with children, teens and adults in school settings, non-profits, and have been a sexual assault advocate and worked with domestic violence survivors through the YWCA.
I enjoy working with children and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues. I take a collaborative approach to helping clients learn new coping skills and adaptive ways to problem-solve through their issues so I am no longer needed as a support in their lives. Theoretically, I tend to work from interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, humanistic and solution-focused perspectives. When working with couples I use Gottman techniques and emotion focused techniques. In therapy the therapeutic relationship is key to positive counseling outcomes and I keep that at the forefront of our work together.

At one time or another most people feel stuck in unproductive or even damaging ways of thinking, feeling, perceiving and acting/ interacting. Sometimes the causes of the difficulty are hard to see or define. Other times we may understand why we struggle but lack the skills or support needed to make and sustain change.

I am honored to work with teens, adults, and elders of every background, orientation, religion, culture, and belief system.
Sometimes our life experiences have a way of causing an altered view of ourselves and the world around us. Trauma and grief can also cause us to disconnect from our lives and the people we love, leaving us feeling unsettled, anxious, and lost. My approach to counseling involves creating a safe space for my clients that supports self-exploration, understanding, and personal growth. My strength-based, trauma-informed practice draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, and internal family systems. Together, we can define your goals and values, and explore who you truly are.

You are deserving of the time and space it takes to heal and grow. Many of us find ourselves 'surviving' rather than 'living' at times; mindlessly wandering day-to-day questioning our purpose, wondering where the passion has gone. Whether it’s due to a major life adjustment, depression, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling stuck. If you are navigating a difficult moment or a recent challenge, know that you can expect a safe, confidential environment to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can work toward finding your path to healing and renewal.

Julie is one of the most insightful, caring counselors showing keen insight into matters of love, affairs, childhood sexual abuse, with a big-hearted approach to heal emotional and physical scars of childhood and victimization. With couples, Julie encourages loving with abandon from a position of personal strength and solid self. She relies as much on 34 years marriage as she does on system interventions and textbook solutions. She is also talented counseling those with issues stemming from chronic diseases like diabetes, MS, and other auto-immune conditions. Julie loves counseling women ready to use kindhearted assertiveness.

Life can be a soul-stretching journey. If you’re feeling alone, discouraged, hopeless, or unseen please know that you matter and are worthy of compassionate support. My own experiences have led me to passionately pursue creating a non-judgmental space where you can vulnerably share your struggles knowing you will be met with empathy and gentle care. I assist teens and adults with life transitions, OCD, eating disorders, and addressing trauma through somatic work and evidence-based practices to restore a sense of safety and inner peace.

It’s hard being a human in a world that asks so much of us, that's so often alienating, stressful, and emotionally exhausting. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach, I work with individuals experiencing challenges that include acute stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief who are seeking to better understand themselves and their behaviors, repair relationships, and imagine possibilities for growth and change. Additionally, I work with many people as they move through the challenges of being a sensitive human and begin to discover the strength in their sensitivities. I am LGBTQIA+-friendly and neurodivergent-affirming.

My favorite approach to therapy utilizes Attachment Theory. My practice has been weighted toward older adolescents and adults experiencing problems in living through trauma, addictions, suicidal ideation, relational problems, adjustment disorders, and mood and anxiety disorders. I also work with parents of young children. I have trained in Circle of Security, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and I'm well versed in Missoula's systems of social welfare.
