Acting as a collaborative partner to facilitate growth, through an integrative approach as well as a strength-over-deficit lens, Julie is intentional, attentive, and adaptive toward fostering a safe environment to enhance well-being and quality of life for her clients. As an associate marriage and family therapist, she has extensive experience treating older adolescents struggling with life transitions, anxiety and neurodiversity, as well as the geriatric population facing grief and loss in hospice care. Studying hypnotherapy for numerous years, she values the power of language, presence, alternative stories, and nourishing one’s sense of agency and purpose, while meeting clients where they are at. She is a strong believer of externalizing problems from the individual while remaining mindful of cultural diversity and acknowledging how relational dynamics, social construct, and community contribute to one’s lived experience. She believes in treating all elements of the human condition including mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. Her intent is to help discover, unleash, and strengthen the capability that exists within her clients, while instilling awareness, self-discovery, worth, connection, hope, healing, and resilience.
