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.

Let's work together and help you find your direction. My counseling style is highly consultative and coaching-like. It is typically non-directive, as I believe each client pilot's their own ship, but when the situation warrants, there is plenty of idea sharing and strategizing as well.
I have been practicing for 21 years and work with clients of all ages and various backgrounds. I believe that with a strong therapeutic alliance, we can mutually come together and help you find a path forward that suits you.
I currently have a waitlist, with weekly session openings expected in about 4~5 months.
I'm a bicultural, bilingual immigrant therapist, and my work is deeply shaped by my own lived experiences, with passion to support and empower people of color, LGBTQ folks, and other marginalized groups. Both personally and professionally, I’m committed to challenging systems of oppression and helping create a world that feels more equitable, safe, and livable for all of us.
Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or worn down by the demands of life or work? Many of my clients seek therapy during times of transition, burnout, self-doubt, or when they’ve lost connection with their sense of balance and purpose. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Employee Assistance Professional, I’m here to provide a supportive space to explore challenges with honesty, resilience, and compassion. I help clients navigate stress, life transitions, and personal struggles while honoring their identities and cultural backgrounds to invite authenticity, balance, and self-discovery.
