A little bit teacher.
About Julie
A clinician, social worker & educator.
I'm passionate about holding space for people's stories, and helping them find practical ways forward.
I believe the most important part of therapy is a trusting, open relationship. Our work together is collaborative: we focus on what matters most to you and build real strategies for healing and self-discovery.
I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group therapy at Green Chimneys, Andrus Children and Family Services, and in private practice. Before becoming a therapist I was a teacher, so I understand school from the inside: the pressure, the routines, and how much a good relationship with a grown-up matters.

Approaches
CBT
We look at how your thoughts, feelings, and actions feed each other, then practice new ways of responding.
ACT
Instead of fighting hard feelings, you learn to make room for them and move toward what matters to you.
Internal Family Systems
We get curious about the different parts of you, like the worrier or the critic, and help them trust a calmer center.
SPACE
Parents learn to respond to a child's anxiety with support and confidence. The child does not need to attend.
Outside the office
TODO: a short personal note (local roots, interests) if Julie wants one.
Let's see if we're a good fit.
Reaching out is often the hardest step. Call, email, or send a note. Julie replies within one business day to set up a short, no-pressure call.
