She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and big life changes using clear, practical strategies.

Julie often helps clients who face fatigue from caregiving, chronic illness, or job-related stress. She also works with people processing trauma, attachment wounds, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. Coping after natural or human-caused disasters is listed among her areas of focus, and she supports people finding ways to rebuild routines and hope.
Appointments emphasize collaboration. Julie asks questions, listens for what matters, and then tailors practical goals and skills. Sessions can include breathing and attention practices, problem-solving plans, and gentle reflection about life stories.
People who choose Julie will find an accepting, nonjudgmental space and a focus on small, manageable steps. She aims to help clients feel clearer about their next moves and more able to handle daily pressures.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, then tries practical changes to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness therapy appears in her work as short attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve focus. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants change but feels stuck; it helps clarify values and small next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together what techniques feel most useful and realistic for everyday life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use practices learned in sessions in their own daily routines, building skills where life actually happens.
