Julie has been such a wonderful light to talk to. She listens to understand and responds with questions. It’s refreshing to have someone to talk to about issues going on and not just hear “you’ll be fine”.

Hi! I’m glad you’re here. Life can be hard and confusing and scary. You may be feeling overwhelmed or you’re struggling with low self-worth and self-doubt. Maybe you’re having difficulty in your relationships with friends, family or partner(s). Perhaps you’re struggling to identify and express your emotions. Add to that, despite all of the positives associated with social media, many people are feeling more isolated and alone than ever. I specialize in treating people struggling with depression, anxiety and trauma as well as life transitions such as navigating college, careers and relationships.
My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe and supported in sharing all of you. You can tell me anything. I offer a non-judgmental, affirming approach to therapy. I love working collaboratively with individuals to explore and process thoughts, experiences, issues and triggers. We will explore your goals and work towards them together.
Many people I work with find me to be easy to talk to and a “calming” presence. I have clients who I laugh and joke with as we work together and nothing makes me happier than being there next to someone as they become healthier, happier, stronger and more confident. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to see if we might be a good fit.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Julie has taken the time to get to know me and help me figure out what the cause of my core issues and how can I focus on the cause instead of the effect
