Through the two sessions I've had with Julie she has done very well with listening to what I'm going through and providing helpful feedback to help me cope with my situation. She does more than just side with me about my problems, she's willing to point out what I've either done wrong or could've done better. Looking forward to more sessions with her.

My therapist has been beneficial in helping me work through my grief of my wife’s passing and providing help with my communication issues with my daughter.

Julie has helped me find ways to improve my distress tolerance skills, is a great listener (without judgment), and encourages me to take steps that are best for my personal improvement and goals. She has been a reliable and considerate therapist, with a calm demeanor and a caring heart. She specifically has helped me work on anxiety management techniques and encouraged me to learn and set healthy boundaries in multiple areas of life. I would highly recommend Julie!

Julie has been easy to speak to about sensitive subjects. It is difficult for me to be vulnerable, and Julie sets a tone on our calls that allows some of those defenses to be lowered. I’m grateful.
