About Julie

She focuses on practical, person-focused care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps toward them. Julie has worked in Indiana across a range of settings during her career. That background shaped a down-to-earth style that mixes skill teaching with time to process feelings.
She pays attention to how daily routines and relationships affect mood and stress. Common topics she addresses include relationship strain, parenting stress, career worries, body image, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports people facing fertility concerns, postpartum mood changes, seasonal affective patterns, and the emotional fallout from divorce or separation.
Therapy with Julie typically involves talking through what matters most, practicing coping strategies, and tracking progress. She helps people develop tools for better communication, clearer priorities, and stronger self-compassion. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and notice patterns without judgment.She also offers EMDR when trauma memories are part of the picture. EMDR works by guiding attention while processing painful memories so they feel less intense and disrupting. This approach can help people who notice recurring, distressing memories or strong emotional reactions tied to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans together as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text fits quick check-ins or short progress notes. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
