Hi, my name is Julie, I support individuals and couples who may struggle with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, and stress. Every client’s needs are unique, but as humans, we all have the resilience to heal and live a meaningful life. My job is to remind you of your strengths, explore what may be holding you back, give you tools to self-regulate, and insight into yourself. I use a gentle and straightforward approach to help you reconnect, understand your inner world, and feel more empowered in your decisions. My goal is for you to process and overcome the obstacles that pull you back in a supportive and collaborative environment.
My couples tell me I am very neutral, and I agree. My job is never to point fingers but to understand your inner experiences and explore how patterns of moving away from each other show up and repeat in your relationship. I focus on understanding relational patterns, increasing effective and compassionate communication, while creating deeper connection.
Imagine being able to notice your needs, have more effective communication, and not be overtaken by anxiety, panic, and emotional pain. Feel free to scroll through my website, and when you are ready to take the next step or have any questions, reach out! I offer free 20-minute consultations so we can make sure we are a good fit before taking the next step.
