I do not believe I hold all the answers; rather, I will assist you in discovering the answers to the problems you are facing through our counseling services.

Hello. I would describe myself as being kind, caring and full of positive energy. I have 8years of experience working with substance abuse. I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I graduated with both my Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University. I have experience working in schools with middle school and high school. My preference is to work with co-occurring disorders (mental health diagnosis and substance abuse diagnosis).
I provide treatment for high functioning anxiety, stress, worry, overthinking, perfectionism, self-criticism, overwhelm, procrastination, imposter syndrome, low self-worth, burn-out, ADHD and relationship stress. I understand that life's challenges can sometimes become overwhelming, and seeking support is a courageous step toward achieving balance and well-being. I am here to support you with your personal growth and emotional healing. Julie looks forward to helping you discover your inner resilience and empower you for positive change.
As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.
I am a licensed therapist in Michigan and a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor with ten years of experience — and the road that shaped me as a clinician runs through two very specific places. For three years, I worked at the VA, where I developed a deep, hands-on understanding of trauma in its most complex and layered forms. For five years after that, I worked at Hope Network, an outpatient program serving individuals with limited access to resources, where I learned something that has stayed with me ever since: that genuine clinical expertise, offered with real intention, can change the trajectory of someone's life — even when the odds are stacked against them. I specialize in substance use and addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and the lasting impact of unhealthy relationships. My work is grounded in CBT and driven by a belief that every person — regardless of their circumstances — has the capacity to become more confident, more grounded, and more fully themselves.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a University of Michigan graduate, and my
area of expertise is co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Over the course of
my career, I have worked with individuals navigating addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and
the complex challenges that arise when these conditions intersect. I believe that healing
happens in a space where you feel genuinely safe and understood, and I am committed to
providing exactly that. I would love to work alongside you as you move toward the life you
deserve.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Southfield, MI
Searching for therapists in Southfield starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties matter most. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Southfield, local office availability may vary, so virtual therapy can give you more options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Michigan. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Southfield can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can compare Southfield therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
