About me

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in human services, education, and social work. I have worked with individuals struggling with the grief and loss of a loved one, domestic violence, trauma, diagnosed personality disorders, anxiety and depression, poverty and homelessness, human trafficking victims, and individuals experiencing chronic pain. Although my experiences are diverse, I have learned two overarching truths: human suffering is universal AND there is always hope.

My style of treatment is person-centered and eclectic. I know that "one-size-fits-all" is never true with mental health treatment. Each client has a unique story and therapeutic goals are developed cooperatively with that in mind. You are the expert on you. I am often described as a warm and empathetic listener, but I am also willing to provide reflective feedback during "stuck" moments in treatment.

If you are ready to move towards a path of healing, hope, and wholeness, contact me and we will begin this journey together.

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.

Julie has been an incredible blessing in my life. Her faith gives me so much more faith and comfort. She makes you feel seen and heard and held, but also provides helpful resources for clarity and improvement. I’m ever so grateful to have everything I could want in a therapist in her

Julie has been great so far. She’s checks in on me often. And I feel comfortable talking to her about things. In this little time, she’s helped me understand a little more about myself, and that’s helped me a lot with “why’s”
I’m looking forward to the new healthy me in the future.
