She brings 30 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Julie aims to create a calm, understanding space where people can talk through immediate problems and plan practical next steps.
Her style is warm and person-centered. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches to help people notice values and take small, value-driven actions. Julie often works with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating gender dysphoria concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, chronic caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue.
Julie pays attention to attachment patterns and family of origin dynamics when they affect current relationships. <br“She” values insight about personality and tends to use Myers-Briggs style typology and attachment ideas to help people understand themselves. She helps clients translate self-knowledge into clearer communication and better choices at work and at home.
Sessions can include practical skill building from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions are intense, and longer-term work that focuses on life purpose and healing from past wounds. Julie combines these approaches to match each person’s goals and pace.

How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then identify what matters and take small steps in that direction. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in regularly to adjust the plan so it matches the client's needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want brief, flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress when schedules or location change.
