Hello, my name is Julie and I have been in practicing clinical social work for over 20 years. I enjoy helping others overcome personal and professional challenges. I blend humor with evidence-based practices. My focus is on helping people overcome obstacles that impact how they feel about themselves. To enhance their quality of life. I am down to earth and holistic in my approach. My main approach is CBT which is evidence-based therapy approach that helps a person recognize how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors impact the way we feel and act. We can use that knowledge to recognize patterns which will help to change your life in a positive way. When you are ready to leave your stress and discomfort behind, I am prepared to help you.
