You are stressed and filled with anxiety. Your thoughts are negative and you lack self-confidence. You feel so overwhelmed by emotions that you no longer know what you feel. Or maybe you are emotionally shutdown and just feel numb. Past traumatic events cause you to react to life in unhealthy ways. Intrusive thoughts keep distracting you from what you need to do each day. And you don’t understand why or how to change it. If any of this sounds familiar, there is hope! It is possible to retrain your brain and to develop different ways of thinking about life. You can stop automatically reacting and learn to thoughtfully respond to stressors. I would love to work with you and help you better manage thoughts and stressful emotions.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I will help you to begin telling your story. I want to learn who you are, what made you decide to get counseling now, and what your expectations/goals are. And we will work on developing a plan to help you get started achieving those goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, or emotional unrest. My goal for clients is that they gain a sense of calm and the ability to manage their emotions. I focus on helping my clients learn to notice and identify their emotions. Once you can name your emotions, then you can begin to learn how to live a healthy life with good emotional responses.

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness therapy is used to help you notice your emotionally and mental reactions to stressors in the present. We can work on past events by noticing your reactions to current stressors. Mindfulness techniques are also powerful coping skills that allow you to decrease anxiousness and increase a sense of calm.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you shift your perspective about yourself and the world around you. This frequently involves introducing a different way to think about things and to challenge unhealthy or unhelpful ways of thinking.

Christian Counseling

In my practice, Christian counseling is based upon the idea that faith is a personal strength which you can lean on. I have past experience serving in a Christian setting and this experience can be brought into my current practice for those who are looking for a faith perspective but are more comfortable speaking with a therapist outside of a church setting.

I had my first appointment with Julie today and feel very confident in our future sessions. She was able to lay out a plan and assure me that she would be able to help provide me with the proper tools to help me collect my thoughts and ease anxious feelings. I am looking forward to my future appointments!

She was absolutely a great listener. Open-minded to hear what was on my mind . Warm - seemed to be very caring and compassionate. I really think her and I will get along well. My emotions are up and down each day . She gives me the impression that she can help me find "a happy medium " in my life . I need to be more stable. I feel like she can easily understand my feelings. I'm looking forward to more meetings with her . Thank you
