Hi there, I'm Julie!
Does regular therapy sound intimidating, or maybe you have done it before and felt caught up in circles? My years as a play therapist have taught me new, engaging ways to help overcome those hurdles. I specialize in trauma and helping to recreate your life after domestic violence, divorce, and loss. I think outside the box and help with new ideas.
My focus
I enjoy working with trauma and abuse survivors and families who are struggling. I like to help people understand the dynamics of the past to change the dynamics in the future and to build the life they desire. I enjoy working with complicated families because, as clients understand why things are happening and shift dynamics, miracles occur.
My approach
Experiences are first processed in the creative side of the brain. It takes a bit for us to find the language to talk about them. Engaging the memories through drawing, virtual sandtray, and other visual means helps our brain understand the memory on a different level. Seeing how our brain organizes it visually can reframe the problem for us.
