Background and approach
She helps parents and individuals notice attachment and communication habits, then practices alternatives together in sessions. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, and client-centered listening. She uses elements of the Gottman Method and mindfulness to strengthen emotional awareness and improve everyday interactions.
Sessions aim to increase insight and build small, usable skills people can try between meetings. Julie supports clients dealing with intimacy and commitment concerns, blended family challenges, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, eating issues, and career or self-esteem struggles.
Her clinical focus includes both short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work depending on individual goals. Julie provides online and phone sessions, plus text and live chat options for ongoing support.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Julie combines attachment-based work with emotionally-focused therapy to help people notice how past bonds shape current relationships and to build stronger emotional connection. Attachment-based work highlights patterns of closeness and distance, and it helps with fears of abandonment or overly guarded responses. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on identifying and shifting painful interaction cycles to improve intimacy and communication.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize each person's pace and choices. That means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that feel meaningful. Together they decide which approaches fit best for the person's goals and circumstances in a collaborative way.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing contact between longer sessions, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different time zones.
