Background and approach

Early work included applied behavior analysis and in-home support for autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens. Over time she expanded to work with adults and adolescents in a wide range of settings. Her style is warm, strengths-focused, and practical.

She aims to build an open space where people can talk without judgment and learn skills that fit their daily life. Sessions draw on a mix of techniques chosen to match each person’s needs and goals. Clients often bring concerns such as family stress, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, substance use, relationship problems, grief, sleep or eating struggles, ADHD, and anger.

She also supports people coping with career stress, identity issues, and intimacy concerns. Julie likes to use hands-on methods when helpful, including play and experiential activities for younger clients and therapeutic animals when appropriate. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and works to help people find balance across thinking, feeling, and behavior.

Outside work she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and building with Legos. She values learning from each person she meets and aims to help people move toward functioning at their highest potential.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and for anyone trying to live more consistently with what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying new, practical strategies to change them. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and anger management.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating. This approach can be helpful for relationship struggles, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work around limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between sessions or for shorter check-ins. These options make regular contact and consistent progress more manageable for busy schedules.
