Excessive worry can be debilitating. Therapy can help you learn the skills to quiet intrusive thoughts and be present in the moment for living a full life.
Depression can be paralyzing, and sometimes just reaching out and getting started is the most difficult part. Therapy will help you find the strength and motivation to move forward and find yourself again.
Trauma triggers can surface even years later in life with no warning. Julie knows how to lean into your experiences with patience and wisdom to help you identify what reactions may be coming from past trauma, and to help you process those memories in a safe space.
Major life changes can be difficult. Julie can help with transitions such as going to college, starting a new job or retiring, or navigating a new relationship milestone.
Grief is not solely caused by the death of a loved one - it can accompany divorce, job loss or retirement, identity crises, and more. Whichever type of loss you are experiencing, Julie’s empathic approaches can help you manage your grief.
Julie is able to assess for - and diagnose ADHD, make referrals to appropriate medication providers, and help you learn strategies for coping with ADHD.
Motherhood can be beautiful—and incredibly overwhelming. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or raising young children, it’s common to experience anxiety, mood changes, identity shifts, or feelings of burnout. You don’t have to carry it all alone. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process your experience, reconnect with yourself, and find steadiness in the midst of it all.
Divorce can feel overwhelming, emotional, and uncertain—especially when children are involved. You may be navigating grief, conflict, or major life changes while trying to show up for your kids. Therapy offers a space to process what you’re going through, find your footing, and learn ways to co-parent with greater clarity, stability, and care for everyone involved.
Relationships can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives—but also some of the most challenging. Whether you’re struggling with communication, trust, conflict, or feeling disconnected, therapy offers a space to better understand what’s happening and how to move forward. Together, we’ll explore patterns, strengthen communication, and work toward healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Sometimes it’s hard to put into words what’s not working—you just know something feels off. In therapy, Julie will help you gently explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences to better understand what’s contributing to your stress or discomfort. Identifying these patterns is the first step toward meaningful change and healing.
