About Julie

She uses straightforward, talk-focused sessions that center on the client's goals.

She also uses elements of Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify steps they can try between sessions.
In sessions she helps people make sense of what keeps them stuck. That may mean looking at thought patterns, testing small behavioral changes, or practicing emotional regulation skills. She treats addiction and trauma concerns while paying attention to safety and realistic planning.
Julie trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work. Her work history includes roles in emergency psychiatry, outpatient therapy, addiction counseling, school social work, and medical social work. That variety influences a practical, problem-solving approach in therapy.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed guilt. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which many people find useful when shame or strong reactions interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs and goals. That may mean mixing CBT skill practice with DBT emotion regulation or using motivational interviewing to support change steps. The plan can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try skills between sessions in their usual surroundings, which can help test what actually works in daily life.
