“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” Anais Nin

Hey there, my name’s Julie and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor.

From an early age, I had a deep curiosity about the world around me and, more specifically, people: I was both an avid reader and frequent observer of everything that came my way. I was fascinated in learning about the variety of human experience and the challenges that people are able to overcome, that process of metamorphosis.

My interests led me to graduate school and my own personal therapy, where I expanded my knowledge as well as developing greater self awareness. This was both the best and most difficult part of my life, as it required me shifting from observer to participant and confronting my own personal barriers. As a result of both my knowledge and personal experience, I believe that the therapy process can open doors we didn’t know existed and I have seen the power of allowing ourselves the messy and often painful process of change.

My work experience has covered a wide range, treating adolescents and adults in inpatient settings, residential programs, and outpatient private practice. I feel particularly drawn to working with men and women struggling with anxiety and depression and experiencing challenges due to difficult life transitions. I also enjoy helping new therapists in their professional development through group and individual supervision.

I have found it is important to use a wide variety of techniques that tap into the creativity and individuality of each client. Therapy is a collaborative process and I feel honored to help you find your own path for growth.
