Greetings! I’m Julie, and I am glad you found your way here. I you are carrying anxiety that will not quiet, grief that will not soften, or a season of life that has left you unsure of what comes next, you do not have to sort through it alone. I have spent eight years working alongside people navigating some of the hardest moments life offers, including time in psychiatric settings and with individuals in the justice system, places where I saw how much strength people carry even when they feel like they have none. Before that, I spent sixteen years as a music teacher, which taught me to meet each person at their own pace. My approach is person-centered and solution-focused: we start from where you are, and we work toward where you want to go. I am glad to work with adolescents and adults. Please reach out if you are ready to take those first steps together.
