Julie brings a holistic and integrative approach to her work with clients, where the full self is welcome: mind, body, and spirit. Her approach is rooted in her passion for human stories of courage, resilience, healing, and transformation. Her work is psychodynamic, strength based, relational, somatic, and trauma informed. She works collaboratively with her clients honoring their unique wisdom and lived experience and is passionate about creating a safe space where her clients feel seen, honored, and understood. Julie aims to empower her clients to access the healer within, to move from feelings of isolation and stuckness towards a deeper heart connection with self, others, and the world. Julie brings her warmth, curiosity, and humor to her work with clients and believes in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and group work. It gives Julie great joy to walk alongside her clients as they grow their innate resilience and human capacity to heal, transform, and thrive.
