She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing trauma, relationship strain, mood challenges, and recovery from addiction.

Background and approach
Julie uses straightforward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past events and life stories shape current patterns. Her work includes helping people navigate grief, parenting challenges, career stress, and the effects of long-term compassion fatigue.
She has experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and eating concerns. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where goals are set together. Julie notes that faith can be part of sessions when clients want that, and she is comfortable working with people of all beliefs.
She encourages small steps toward hope, healing, and clearer direction.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what already works for a person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects understanding, and helps people find their own solutions to stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy uses clear, action-oriented steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and everyday coping skills because it breaks problems into manageable parts.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Rewriting parts of that story can reduce shame, clarify values, and open up new choices for dealing with trauma, identity, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows visual connection for in-depth work, phone can be a good shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and reach support from different locations.
