Hi! I'm Julie. I help adults and teens develop the skills to tackle life’s challenges so they can experience greater confidence, purpose and fulfillment. I believe everyone has the need to be heard and known. My desire is to provide a non-judgmental and welcoming space for clients to better understand themselves, experience healing, and gain tools for navigating relationships, work, and life.

I have 37 years post graduate experience providing counseling and therapy to children, adults, couples and families. I have maintained my private practice in Battle Ground since 1997, but I have worked in a variety of other outpatient mental health settings also serving adults and children. I am a Child & Family Mental Health Specialist in the State of Washington. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy in addition to having a family systems perspective. Play therapy is utilized for children and conjoint marital therapy for couples. I can also provide supervision for Washington LMHC.

Overwhelmed? Feeling like your mind is spinning and it won't slow down? Traumatized by an event/person? Sad more than not? As a therapist, I have a long history of working with women, children and adults. I specialize in abuse issues, domestic violence, trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, ADHD, and family issues. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is the standard and most effective treatment for psychological trauma. Having support is key to a healthy and balanced life.

I am committed to offering empathic rapport, evidenced based approaches, and meeting each individual right where they are. This includes integrating each individual's personal, spiritual, and cultural perspectives and experiences, at their request. I work with older kids, teens, young adults, and individual adults, seeking solutions for a variety of concerns including: depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, communication, and relationships. I have received additional training in expressive therapies including play therapy and sand tray therapy.

So many of us have struggles in our lives and we have all felt lost and alone at times. I see my work as a collaborative effort between myself and my clients to improve the quality of their lives and to help them to achieve their goals in a supportive, nurturing environment. I strive always to provide excellent, comprehensive services including formal assessments, individual and family therapy, group therapy, consultation, and psychoeducation. I have worked successfully with children, adolescents and adults with trauma, pain, chronic illness, grief, mood disorders, anxiety, chronic mental illness, stress, depression, and behavioral problems.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation with children, teens, and adults. I encourage self-discovery to help you reconnect to your authentic self. In the therapeutic process, I provide psychoeducation and utilize a variety or proven techniques pulling from theories that help you reach your goals. My approach is designed to assist you in living your authentic life. There is nothing to fix, but there is a lot to understand. We all have unique life experiences that impact us as humans; this is part of life, and not a weakness.

I specialize in working with Couples, Teens/young adults and LGBTQ+ (individual & couples). My heart and passion is helping people find healing within themselves and their relationships. I have been working in Mental Health and Human Services for over 20 years. I have a strong trauma-informed approach and practice.

Healing is possible. There have been times in my own life when it felt impossible to experience the life I was meant to live, the joy we are meant to experience, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. If you are there right now, or you feel like you are chained to your past and patterns that keep you from moving forward into hope, peace, and joy, you can overcome. I would love to partner with you on your journey forward.

Waitlist... When you walk into my doors, I want you to feel comfortable and at ease. Therapy is not easy but I am willing and able to help you cross challenging situations in a connected way. I meet client's where they are at in their journey. We work together as a team, as the saying goes, "there is no 'i' and no 'u' in teamwork'. I enjoy working with people of all ages and our work together will help you improve your ability to manage life stresses and challenges.

Change is an amazing opportunity for growth. Whether the change is initiated by us or is unexpected, change is an opportunity to increase our self-awareness and grow towards realizing our best selves. Change is often challenging and can feel scary. Exploring how we react to change by following the thread of our reactive emotions, thinking and behaviors directs us to the strategies that will effectively set us on the path to self-discovery and empowerment.

There are times in our lives when we need someone to help us navigate through difficult journeys such as grief and loss, or a circumstance in our lives which we cannot face alone. Perhaps anxiety is rearing its head, or there's a sense of being alone at a time where we need help. I believe it's always better to have someone to walk through these difficult journeys with us.
