I'm Julie, a clinical therapist that specializes in Anxiety, Trauma, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Grief & Ambiguous Loss. We know that adventures in life can bring challenges that are difficult or feel impossible to navigate. Because of this, we often avoid dealing with the stressors and teach our mind and our body to navigate through the distress, to the best of our ability. After all, things already can be so overwhelming, how can we consider adding one more thing requiring our attention? What if I told you, all you need to do is take the first step. That one step creates forward movement towards an improved sense of self.

You are seeking to become the best version of yourself that is in true alignment with your inner being. You may be struggling with: anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship and or, couples concerns, grief and loss, and low self-esteem. You yearn to deepen the understanding of yourself and the relationships you keep or have let go of. Life offers stages of change, loss and transformation, and we often find ourselves surrendering to merely being. You may get caught up in the day to day tasks and easily forget to take time to pause and reflect on what is really happening on the inside.

I approach therapy with the ideology that life is a culmination of interconnected parts. Feelings stem from experiences, experiences influence perceptions, and subsequently guide many of the decisions one makes in life. When individuals experience stagnation or challenges, it may be connected to an array of life experiences. This may lead to a challenge with seeing beyond that which is. The subsequent result may serve as a breeding ground for emotional and physical pain, challenges in interpersonal relationships and unresolved grief.

Life is full of surprises. No matter how much you prepare and plan, unexpected events may occur.

I strive to provide a comfortable environment where clients feel safe to share their most vulnerable thoughts and ideas. I will work as an advocate to help my clients become empowered in their ability to cope with whatever life throws at them.
