About Julie
She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to build coping skills and emotional awareness. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, finding manageable changes, and practicing new ways of responding to stress. The aim is smoother daily functioning and clearer choices, not quick fixes.
Julie combines several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and purpose. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Attachment-based work helps address patterns that affect close relationships.
Her background includes helping people with complex concerns such as trauma, addiction, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life issues. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting strain, identity and intimacy questions, and career stress.
Clients can expect straightforward talk, practical exercises, and attention to personal goals. Julie frames progress as small changes over time and works with each person to find what helps them feel steadier and more purposeful.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for coping with chronic illness, grief, or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that shape close relationships and helps people build more secure ways of connecting.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they hope to change, try different strategies, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps match methods to goals and preferences rather than assuming one single path.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits better. It can also let someone use a phone call when less bandwidth is available or choose video for a longer, interactive session. Ask about practical scheduling to find times that work with daily life.
