Background and approach

Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor a plan for each person. She works with mood disorders, trauma and abuse history, chronic illness and pain, and issues around attachment and self-esteem. She also helps with career stress, sleep and eating concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.

With four years of clinical experience, Julie brings a steady, patient approach to therapeutic work. She pays particular attention to people navigating transitions - retirement, caregiving shifts, adoption and foster care questions, and other major life events. Julie aims to help clients build resilience and clearer goals.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats including video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Her practice combines practical tools with compassionate support to help people make gradual, meaningful changes.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make practical changes. One common approach focuses on building routines and coping skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this involves small, repeatable tasks that reduce overwhelm and increase predictability. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment patterns and relationship dynamics to improve communication and intimacy, useful for relationship strain and self-esteem work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is and isn’t helpful, so clients and therapist decide the direction together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session is needed during a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
