I attended Brigham Young University – Idaho where I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Marriage & Family Studies and then moved on to receive my Master’s degree in Couple, Marriage & Family Therapy from COAMFTE accredited Texas Tech University. COAMFTE accreditation is the highest level of MFT accreditation in the nation. During my undergrad education, I was trained and certified as a relationship educator and instructor of Dr. John Van Epp’s How To Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk P.I.C.K. a Partner and L.I.N.K.S. courses. I has been specially trained in Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

Life is difficult sometimes and can feel overwhelming, lonely, or sad. I have felt that way as well during parts of my life. It’s difficult not to have the multi faceted parts of our lives take a toll on our mental health. Grief, loss, addiction, and trauma are all part of my story. However, the stories we believe to be true of ourselves and others are capable of being rewritten. The important factor is identifying through discovery and support of how YOU are the author. Therapy isn't as much learning skills to overcome mental health issues as it is unlearning carried shame, guilt, and negative beliefs to become an emboldened you.

A lot of things happen in our lives that are out of our control. These difficult challenges can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, hopeless, and powerless. These challenges are difficult by themselves, but you might be experiencing added shame or embarrassment for how you feel, think, and act. I hope to provide a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder and depression, I am no stranger to mental health challenges. Often, we feel ashamed or embarrassed for having these difficulties and are told to be “tough” or “man up”. You may be experiencing similar feelings.

I strongly believe every person deserves to have someone in their corner, especially when facing one of life’s many challenges. We all go through difficult things in our lives and It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey, having someone to truly be there for you and walk the path with you can be life changing. I hope to offer that to all the clients I work with. I am here to help you as you navigate the storms of life.

I know it may feel like all hope is lost. You’ve hit a wall in your relationship, and you don’t see a way around it. You desperately want your partner to see you, and you wish you could understand them. It feels like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle. Many couples go through this, and it’s a pretty painful experience. You want to make it work, but have no idea how. Fortunately, you can still improve your relationship. Even if you’ve dealt with distance, infidelity, or communication problems for years, you can heal together. You and your partner can learn to leave the resentment behind, and get back to your life together.

Do you feel like you should be happy, that your life is good? But you aren't happy. Do you struggle to understand why the changes you want to make don't stick? You want to let go of your worry about what other people think about you, or your kids, or how clean house is but you can't. You feel like you are falling short as a mother, wife, friend, or employee. You just can't seem to do it right. Can't ever get to happy. Sound familiar? Now imagine that you move through each day confident in your worth, focused on progress, not perfection, and feeling deeply connected to yourself, others, and your higher power. It is possible.

Trying to heal can be a lonely and hidden journey. Why open up if you will be judged or condemned? Seventeen years ago, I met a therapist who didn’t judge, and I knew he genuinely cared. I felt it! His genuine compassion, despite my flaws, made me realize healing is possible! From that point on, healing became my passion; it felt contagious. Helping others feel safe, heard, understood, and non-judged. Caused me to change my business career after getting my MBA, to get a 2nd Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy.

I am passionate about helping strengthen families. There is not a textbook definition for “family”. Personal beliefs and experiences uniquely shape each person’s reality of what "family" means and I work to champion a healthy family, no matter what form or definition it may have. I collaborate with clients in working through parenting struggles, behavioral issues, divorce considerations, building communication skills, overcoming trauma and anxiety, and many other family-based therapeutic focuses.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples of all genders and sexual orientations improve their sexual health and sexual relationships. I help clients explore the meaning of sex, find greater sexual pleasure, and address sexual problems. I also work with out-of-control sexual behavior (OCSB), sometimes called sexual compulsions or sexual addictions. This includes navigating moral, religious, and erotic conflicts around sexuality.

I love working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe that we all have challenges and adversity that we have to face in life. Unfortunately we don’t get to choose what those challenges will be, but we can choose how we will deal with them. I believe that by confronting problems head on, and working through the difficult challenges we can find purpose in life and heal. I believe that it is our challenges in life that shape who we become.

Hello! My name is Juliane and I’m an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Through personal experience with loved ones struggling with addiction, abuse and divorce, I have learned pain in life is inevitable; I have also learned suffering is not. My passion is to support and help people to relieve as much suffering as possible through sharing tools to make life more manageable and meaningful, even through times of uncertainty and distress.

I want to help you access your inner power and live your most meaningful life! I help people tap into their passions and unique talents to come back to their true self. Do you ever feel like you keep trying different approaches and make a little progress but still feel stuck? I love bringing playfulness, creativity, and movement into the healing process to break up old patterns and create healthier ones. I enjoy helping people change their ways of relating to anxiety and difficult experiences from resistance and dread to curiosity and kindness.

As humans, we learn to cope with unpleasant feelings and situations using our innate strengths. Despite doing our best those strategies are sometimes ineffective or unhelpful. The way we try to avoid pain may cause us distress and create problems that become hard-wired into our identity and reduce our ability to function and connect fully with others. In a warm, supportive environment we can experience change as we embrace what we feel, become aware of our emotional patterns, and choose helpful thoughts. My mission as a therapist is to help you cope, think, and feel better using a wide range of empirically-based interventions.

I‌ ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌meet‌ ‌people‌ ‌where‌ ‌they‌ ‌are. ‌Trauma can sometimes leave us wondering‌ ‌“what‌ ‌is‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌with‌ me?“ I believe a better question is‌ ‌“what‌ ‌happened‌ ‌to‌ ‌you?” ‌In my practice, I view clients in that way. ‌Everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌a‌ ‌story,‌ ‌a‌ ‌story‌ ‌that‌ ‌makes‌ ‌them‌ ‌unique. ‌My interest is in understanding what the story is and how to use a‌ ‌story‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌strength‌ ‌rather‌ ‌than‌ ‌a‌ ‌fault. ‌Even though it seems easier said than done, and it also takes time, I believe any client, from kids to adults, can get there with patience and understanding.

Philosophy of Care: I approach the therapeutic relationship as an essential part of the healing process. Life can present us with many challenges. Many of us pass through experiences that can impact our emotional stability and create struggles to connect with ourselves and with others. I work within the context of the therapeutic setting with a comprehensive approach. I utilize many of the theoretical orientations that I have learned through my years of being a healing practitioner. As a therapist, I strive to assist my clients in increasing their overall quality of life.
