As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and personal growth. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing social anxiety, communication difficulties, and transitions in life.
My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I work collaboratively with clients to address issues like self-worth related issues, isolation, workplace stress, and emotional healing. Whether you're struggling with mood challenges, relationship transitions, or seeking greater personal purpose, I provide a supportive and empathetic space for exploration and growth.
Drawing from a trauma-informed and person-centered perspective, I'm committed to helping individuals develop resilience, improve communication, and cultivate meaningful connections. My therapeutic style honors each client's individual experience, focusing on strengths and potential for positive change.
As a seminary graduate and Christian therapist I am glad to integrate faith-based principles upon client request. I am also always happy to pray with any client when this is requested.

She is an amazing person. She responds in a timely manner, checks up on me and gives me words of encouragement to keel going forward. As a man of God, it was initially difficult to talk with somebody about my journey due to my past issues and trauma from church hurt. After meeting with her I came to understand that she too was Christian and really opened my eyes into believing that loving and true people of faith are still out there. Few of the christian therapists I had been with in the past were very condescending and made it a hard space for me to be vulnerable in. She was the exact opposite and is the sweetest and kindest person I've met. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for being the awesome person that you are Julie! :)

Ms. Julie asks simple questions, which, in my opinion, is best because I overcomplicate things so much. She helps to slow my thinking down and has me really concentrate on why I feel the way I do.

Julie is the most kind and wonderful person who really hears what you have to say. She is an exceptional communicator and truly makes you feel appreciated and understood. The tools she has helped me to develop over these past months have been life-changing, and I mean that in the most literal sense. Her insights are profound and clearly explained, and she helps you to see your blind spots or the less pleasant parts of yourself that you may struggle to understand or deal with. The only anti-anxiety medication that has ever worked for me is therapy with Julie, and I cannot recommend her enough.
