Breakthrough after breakthrough! Julie has helped me over overcome so many emotions, family situations, fears, and anxieties! All with being Christian based, which was very important to me. I feel like I have a lifelong friend and can’t imagine not chatting with her as I continue to go along through life! The tools and lessons that I have been provided with will be used to pass down to my children as well, and it’s hard to imagine something more special than knowing I’m changing my life and legacy for the better. Thank you, Better Help!

Julie is a compassionate, optimistic, and supportive counselor in every sense. From our first session, I could tell that working with her would empower and equip me to accomplish my goals. She is full of wisdom and in many situations has drawn on her own experience to give great insight, which I greatly value and appreciate. I feel like I have made progress on what I would like to accomplish with therapy in just the few months we have worked together, and this would have been possible without her!
