Affirming

Hi there, I'm Julie!

I want to affirm this first step you've taken toward self-care and healing. Reaching out for support isn't always easy. I believe therapy can be a safe space to talk about all the things you deal with every day. Life is complex, and you deserve support navigating it.

My focus

I work extensively with LGBTQIA+ folks and offer gender-affirming care. I specialize in long-term substance use recovery in outpatient and residential settings. I have substantial experience with eating disorders and disordered eating. I also help with life transitions, relationships, communication skills, and mood management.

My approach

I help clients bring nutrients to the soil of their narratives and grow new perspectives and coping skills. I value using creativity to build resilience and share resources to help you face challenges. My strength is listening to the nuances, silences, and subtleties in your story, then offering ideas to help you unscramble the puzzle.
