ABOUT
Hi! I'm Julie, and my practice is rooted in the belief that everything is workable. Everyone deserves happiness, contentment, and freedom from suffering. We cannot fully heal in isolation, and I am happy to walk alongside you and impart the confidence I already have in your healing potential. I endeavor to find the optimal dose of relational medicine through collaboration with my clients.
​
For as long as I can remember I have been introspective, questioning everything, and wanting to get to the bottom of things. This curiosity lead me to wonder about human relationships - why we do what we do, who (and how) we become who we are. I set about on a psycho-spiritual journey at a young age that eventually led me to become a therapist myself. I always wanted to help others, and I have been fortunate to embody that role in various ways, personally and professionally.
I am devoted and passionate about supporting others in their healing journey. ​I continually witness profound transformations that inspire me to offer my heart and wisdom to this work. I draw from numerous healing traditions, like somatic and contemplative psychology, mindfulness-awareness practice and yoga, humanistic and feministic psychology, nutrition, and a deep reverence for nature, to support my clients in healing and transformation. I help clients work through trauma, clarify purpose, find meaning and motivation, and navigate the unending challenges and joys of being a human. I specialize in anxiety and depression, relationship and parenting stress, alcohol and substance use concerns, body image issues, and spirituality.
