More about Julie

- LCSW
I am a clinical social worker with more than 17 years of experience working as a clinical therapist in private practice settings. I have worked with people who experience a wide range of concerns including first responders, people who have experienced sexual trauma, people who have experienced child abuse/neglect, and people in healing/recovery from distress caused by relationship issues.
I work with people who experience CPTSD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues of all kinds. I work with teens, couples and men and women.
And I work with people who need more joy and happiness in their lives!
Therapy helps address what is not working and can be used to strengthen what is working. So the focus is also on strengths and how to leverage those to overcome past experiences. We blend those strengths with a therapist who believes in you and your capacity to heal and utilize strong clinical interventions.
Diagnosis simply describes a pattern of experiences- I'm less interested in that and more interested in how to help you find freedom from what limits you and traveling with you on the path of wellness, balance, embodiment, peace, self-compassion and self-love, and authentic happiness.
My counseling style is warm and interactive, we are partners in this process. I am training in Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry program. This is a cutting-edge thinking and treatment paradigm for addiction and trauma. This program recognizes somatic sensation as the point of entry for understanding past experiences and holding deep compassion for where we are now. I am trained in EMDR as well as Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I use aspects of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, REBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Somatic Therapy and humor- all grounded in a deep respect for our experiences and for the people I work with.
I know how much courage it can take to reach out- do it, you are worth it all.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
