Her work draws on a decade of hands-on experience in behavioral health. That experience includes individual work and approaches for people facing complex, overlapping issues. Julie aims to help people reduce symptoms and build workable coping strategies for everyday life.
She describes therapy in straightforward terms. Meetings focus on specific goals, practical tools, and small changes that add up. Julie encourages collaborative planning so people leave with clear next steps and skills they can practice between sessions.
People can expect a focused, goal-oriented approach that blends listening with concrete techniques. Her practice attends to both emotional concerns and the practical problems that come with them.

Therapeutic approaches and online session planning
Julie commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify their own goals. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy in many sessions. Solution-Focused work emphasizes small, practical steps and goals you can try between meetings. These approaches are useful for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That discussion guides whether to emphasize CBT skills, solution-focused steps, Gottman ideas for relationship communication, or motivational interviewing techniques.
