She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing depression, grief, and trauma.

Julie creates a calm, open space for conversation. She focuses on listening and understanding each person’s situation. Sessions aim to reduce isolation and help people find manageable next steps.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and grounded. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain and relationship patterns. That can include learning new coping skills, practicing clearer communication, and working through past hurts.
Julie has experience with aging and geriatric issues, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, multicultural concerns, personality disorders, and young adult issues. Those areas often bring complex emotions, and she meets them with steady attention and respect. Parents and family members often find her style reassuring because she keeps language straightforward.
She encourages collaboration on goals and respects each person’s pace. The focus is on real changes that fit daily life.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical to use in video or phone sessions. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills and stress management strategies that a person can practice between meetings; this helps with anxiety, depression, and daily overwhelm. Another approach concentrates on improving communication and resolving relationship or family conflicts by identifying patterns and trying new ways of talking and listening.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let people connect face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep working on goals between sessions.
