I love helping others to make sense of their issues through an integrative approach. My specialties are, (1) Couples, Families and Individuals; (2) Multicultural Issues; (3) Work with actors, models, and sexual workers; (4) Negotiations.

It's great you've taken this step. My practice recognizes the normal challenges we face as circumstances change throughout our lifespans. Childhood through Adolescence; School Issues; Marriage, Family and Aging. Adjusting well to these transitions is the key to preventing the "need" for treatment after problems worsen. Learning to manage the complexities of life is facilitated with a therapeutic relationship which is trustworthy and productive. Let's do it together!

I use a client-centered and strength’s based approach in therapy. Clients are met where they are at, and the scope and goals of therapy are determined collaboratively. The connection established within the safety of the therapeutic relationship can be used as a catalyst for change, growth and healing as clients are supported to identify their core values, strengths and talents, and solidify a sense of self, so that personal experiences and relationships can be experienced in healthy and meaningful ways. Julie uses a diverse range of therapeutic interventions and modalities.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with clients to help them live fuller, more meaningful lives. With a client-centered, strength-based approach, I tailor my interventions to each individual client. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy for the treatment of OCD and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address anxiety, trauma and PTSD.

I believe that therapy can be a rewarding experience for everyone. As a practitioner, I work closely with my clients, using a strengths-based approach, to help create change and achieve their personal and professional goals. By engaging in the therapeutic process, my clients are able to identify problem areas in their lives and relationships, increase their ability to communicate effectively, find new ways of relating to themselves and others, as well as develop positive strategies for successful conflict resolution.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who offers individual, family and group psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults.

I value client self-determination and I feel it is important to empower clients to be active participants in their own treatment process. Sessions focus on building on individual’s strength and capacity for change while addressing the stressor.

I’m passionate about working with my clients to establish treatable goals and outcomes in order to become contributing members of society. We all have the power to help ourselves, but sometimes we need extra support and guidance and my role is to do just that, but in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

I work with individuals who find difficulties with their interpersonal relationships. Trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem can keep you stuck in limiting patterns. As a massage therapist for the past 24 years, I've noticed how people hold patterns of pain, trauma, and negative energy in their bodies. Now as a therapist I help people who may be carrying the weight of their past, feel their life is out of balance, or who are not living up to their full potential. If you'd like to relate better to those around you, learn new skills to change behaviors, and improve your overall wellness I can help.

Life can be challenging and reaching out for help can also be difficult. As a therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe space for my clients where they can expect to be met with compassion and understanding. I work with my clients to build the necessary skills that help them navigate their personal struggles. Along with this, I work to facilitate growth, insight, and self-compassion. I believe that these are core aspects in helping people feel better about themselves and the world around them. I have a diverse clinical background and have worked with people in various stages of their lives.

Seeking a therapist is a positive step in your pursuit to feel better. As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that trauma does not discriminate and may present in several different forms. Research has shown that both “big T” (a single, terrible event) and “little t” trauma (daily stressors) can block the brain’s ability to process distressing events and have a profoundly negative impact on emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual well-being. Both of these types of traumas can lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, phobias, relationship issues, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or more.

I earned earned my M.A. and Doctoral degree at Illinois School of Professional Psychology. As a licensed clinical psychologist I have worked with a diverse clinical population ranging in ages from 6 to 100+ years old.
