Dr. Julie’s work is centered around helping healthy people think differently about what is happening in their lives. Only the most courageous people go to therapy. That is because it is not a lot of fun to sit and talk about yourself. Especially if we are talking about aspects of you and your life that you may not be so fond of. However, Dr. Julie is nonjudgmental, kind, straightforward and supportive so that you can begin to connect the dots about why you think, feel and do the things you do. Knowledge is power and Dr. Julie helps people learn theory while applying it to the practical aspects of life.

Dr. Julie is available for current clients when the unexpected happens. All clients are given access to her on the off hours.

Moreover, Dr. Julie works in collaboration with prescribing professionals as well as the other team members that comprise a client’s comprehensive care network.

Dr. Julie recognizes the need for an emphasis on family counseling when a client is working through their issues and then returns back to their family of origin.

Dr. Julie offers counseling for alcohol and substance abuse. In conjunction with AA when necessary, Dr. Julie can assist clients in their struggle with sobriety. Step work as well as homework are a required component of this.

Anxiety is the most common reason for seeking out a therapist.

Sadly it is only a matter of time before we experience issues related to grief and loss.

Managing these difficult issues very likely necessitates professional help, especially if it is an ongoing issue. No one should ever feel uneasy about seeking mental health help for anything, especially around issues of grief and loss.
