Hi! My name is Julie and I am a licensed doctoral-level psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I have helped folks with a wide variety of mental health challenges--from workplace stress and relationship issues to depression, anxiety, and PTSD. However, my approach does not simply address mental health symptoms. I believe that transformation comes when we decide to step out of a victim mindset and fully embrace our power to create the life we desire.
I have experience working with most mental health conditions and in the past five years, I've expanded my approach to include more holistic, soul-centered methods. This allows the people who work with me to explore wellbeing and success from all angles--emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual. Whether you're seeking peace in relationships, sexuality, or redefining your health, I am happy to assist you in turning challenges into stepping stones.
I particularly enjoy working with people who are motivated to become the next best version of themselves. Life is not about what happens to us, right? It's about we rise to meet it. If you're ready to leave the victim role behind and claim your role as creator of your own story, let's begin our work together!
My primary treatment modality is a short-term model and includes techniques such as existential, mindfulness-based, clinical hypnosis, CBT, DBT, interpersonal, and emotion-focused modalities. People tend to describe my therapy style as empathetic, direct, compassionate, and straightforward.
I am excited to begin working with you and will happily answer any questions!

Julie is very straight forward, blunt, and honest and does not filter and that is something that I really like in a therapist. I’m here for help, not sugar coated nice words. 10/10

She is direct and matter of fact. She challenges me to look with in. I like her style. I also like how she lets me be me on the calls. She is also very responsive in the chat.

Julie is amazing. I was at such a low point in my life, that I really didn’t think this ( or anything) would help. But it was the best thing I could have done.

Julie is very compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. She made me feel very comfortable and heard in our sessions through active listening. I felt very validated and understood and I can't wait to continue working with her. I went into the session very stressed and came out feeling very hopeful and enthusiastic about my journey.
