How Julie works
Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are woven in to understand patterns that repeat over time. Julie often works with concerns such as depression, bipolar mood swings, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, relationship struggles, intimacy issues, body image, and career stress.
Parents who are juggling caregiving and work can get help with burnout and compassion fatigue. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Julie helps people identify one or two practical steps between visits, then reviews progress together.
She pays attention to how life events, attachment wounds, and care responsibilities shape what someone is facing now. People come for short-term problem solving or longer work on deep patterns. Julie aims to make things easier to manage and to help people build habits that last.
Her style is calm, direct, and collaborative.

Online support options
How online approaches and tools support change
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is practical and works well for sleep problems, worry, and mood challenges.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple present-moment skills that calm intense feelings and improve attention. Mindfulness pairs well with work on stress, chronic pain, and coping during major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone is low-bandwidth for a quicker check-in, and messaging or chat can fit brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on concrete steps and steady progress.
