Welcome! and thank you for taking the time to do this step for yourself. As a psychiatric provider, I am committed to working with you and your family on your journey to healing and discovering your best self throughout this process. I am a board certified Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), currently licensed in Washington State and Massachusetts.

Hello. My name is Julie and I am a licensed mental health counselor. In addition to working in WA state in a clinic setting, I have spent five years in Singapore working as a social/emotional counselor in a large international high school. In that role, I supported students and families from over 75 countries in the world. That helps me to view counseling from an inclusive and culturally sensitive space. I now make my home in the beautiful PNW and am excited to ground my practice here.
As a clinician and a person, it’s important that the therapy is working. I also try to bring humor to session and a little of myself to the room. I feel it’s important to be authentic to the process.

I'm an AuDHD Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee whose mission is to help people who feel out of place, lost, or different reconnect with their confidence, find a sense of belonging, and rediscover their most authentic selves. My work is grounded in neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA2S+-affirming, and anti-oppressive care. It's important to me to offer a space where people can reclaim their full selves, without the pressure to mask or shrink to be understood.
Since 2015, I've worked in community mental health — supporting adults in crisis as part of a voluntary short-term inpatient crisis triage team, connecting people experiencing homelessness with resources as an outreach case manager, and working as a therapist with kids, youth, and families.
These experiences have shaped my specialties: ADHD, Level 1 Autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. The population I serve are youth 13+, young adults, and families.
