Professional statement

Who need to be heard and respected, assisted in processing trauma, changing patterns and behaviors, making decisions, and who want to live a more thriving and meaningful life.

Her work is highly collaborative and non- judgmental. She tailors treatment to the needs of her clients, using acceptance and commitment therapy, Buddhist practice and philosophy, neuropsychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and her lived experience in adoption, parenting, recovery, and trauma. As your therapist she puts your trust and safety first, from a humanistic and affirming base.

Julie holds an MS in mental health counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston. She works on both coasts, in Massachusetts with Resilience Lab, and in California under the supervision of master Marriage and Family Therapist, Elizabeth Jo Stinson. She has worked in community mental health for several years with a wide array of clients. At this time, Julie is available through privacy protected telehealth.


Message to clients

My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, working with you to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, process trauma, and gain deeper insight into your experiences. I believe therapy can help you find greater self-acceptance, stability, happiness, and freedom.

The space I offer is warm and accepting, in which you can explore your emotions without judgment. I’m committed to creating a supportive, optimistic environment to help you on your healing journey.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, I invite you to reach out. Taking that first step can be hard, but you deserve a life of health and well-being. Therapy can help you find relief and move toward a brighter future—things can and will get better. If I'm not the right therapist for you I'm happy to talk over who might be, to assist you along your road to health and well being.
