Background and approach

Her background includes work in schools, psychiatric hospitals, high-risk homes, and independent practice. That range of settings gives her practical experience with many kinds of life stress and behavioral challenges. She has also worked as a child specialist in collaborative law contexts, which involved coordinating with other professionals and focusing on clear communication.

Julie draws on her Native American roots in how she approaches healing and resilience. Outside of work she enjoys kayaking, boogie boarding, swimming, and searching for fossils. These activities inform a down-to-earth, active approach to well-being.

She does not work with addiction or couples. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful. To begin, people follow the platform process to match and schedule sessions.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical changes. One common approach she uses centers on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety, with concrete tools people can try between sessions to reduce worry and manage overwhelming feelings. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral changes to address low motivation, depressive symptoms, and parenting challenges by breaking tasks into small, doable steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they adjust methods over time so the work reflects the person's needs and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see nonverbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing is easier. These options help make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving forward.
