“But no one heals what they refuse to look at. So when asked if I think you’re a good person, I say, I don’t believe in good people. I believe in people who are committed to knowing their own wounds intimately.”
- Andrea Gibson, “Daytime Somewhere”, Lord of the Butterflies

How I work
My approach is genuine, nonjudgmental, gender-affirming, and intersectional. I work from a perspective that integrates social and cultural context (society, family, and relationships) with your inherent values, strengths, and desires. Together we’ll use humor, creativity, and levity to provide fertile ground for more difficult emotions like grief, depression, and anxiety. I use various therapeutic approaches based on the issues and needs you bring into session; providing individual and relationship therapy that is personalized, holistic, and trauma-informed. Ultimately, I believe that you are the expert on your experience and that having a witness and cheerleader to all that life asks of us can make a difference.
WORK WITH Julie
Individual
Our work together will promote self-discovery, growth, and well-being. I work relationally, building trust so that our work can be direct and generative.
In addition to the typical weekly session format, I offer a limited number of drop-in appointments for those that can not attend weekly, but would like support as needed. An initial 90 minute session is required to be eligible for drop-in sessions.

Relationship
Compassionate and nonjudgmental support for partnerships that want to look at their relationship in a way that moves away from expectations and roles and into a relationship that is designed to support each person’s needs and wants. Whether that is through identifying those needs, improved communication and conflict, and/or exploring alternative relationship styles.
