About Julie
She has 12 years of experience working with adults on issues like self-esteem, coping with change, and communication problems. Julie also brings experience with adoption and with the stresses caregivers face. Having lived outside the United States for 22 years, she understands reentry concerns and third-culture kid experiences from a lived perspective.
Julie blends practical conversation with structured approaches that help people clarify values and take small steps toward change. She can include Christian faith in sessions when requested, and she also respects people who prefer a secular approach. Her style is patient and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on what people can do between sessions.
In sessions she pays attention to family patterns and recurring relationship dynamics that affect daily life. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of relating. Work may include building communication skills, addressing grief or guilt, and setting healthier boundaries.
Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. Julie aims to make progress feel manageable by focusing on concrete choices and simple practices. People who want a thoughtful, values-focused counselor often find her approach practical and steady.

How Julie's Approaches Guide Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and commit to meaningful steps.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting experience and offering empathy to help people find their own solutions.
Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect daily life. This approach helps when recurring dynamics in relationships or family history get in the way of wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit their situation. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
