When I came to Better Help a few months ago, I was primarily struggling with having a lack of joy in my life. My home life is busy, my career was not progressing as quickly as I would like compared to my peers and my friendships were becoming less reliable. I was also searching for my true calling and trying to marry that with my stalled career. Julie helped me find the confidence I was missing in my professional life, which motivated me to pursue tangible career growth. I rediscovered tools and techniques that had been missing from my toolbox in the years where other avenues in my life were getting busier. I also discovered I'm a talented writer. Julie constantly but compassionately encouraged me to pursue this skill even further -- going so far to push me into writing a book. I always knew I had special talents. Julie helped shine a light on these talents and gave me a roadmap to achieve these goals. I'm grateful for all of Julie's help during a down time in my life. I'm now much happier, more content with what I've been blessed with, planning more activities that bring me joy and learning how to be a strong human being in the face of adversity. I highly recommend Julie.

More about Julie
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a warm, empathic, and compassionate therapist. I listen without judgment and am honored to help people achieve their goals. I want to impart hope, help heal old wounds, and provide a new way of understanding and navigating through life when faced with challenges. Through therapy you will be able to develop more strength, enhance your skills, nurture your inner-self and feel empowered. I have been a private practice practitioner, professor, and career counselor for over 20 years. Many of my patients have come to me for assistance with stress, life transitions, career transitions, sex therapy, relationship issues, and self-esteem difficulties. I enjoy utilizing neurobiology and psychodynamic psychotherapy to create discovery and understanding of the brain's neural operating systems and subsequent behavior patterns to assist with lasting changes. It is a wonderful journey to self discovery and personal growth. We will work together to create self-awareness, strengthen confidence, and model new patterns that create the way to living your best life and ultimately, peace of mind.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
