Julie’s Approach
Life needs witnessing
Your therapy sessions are tailored to your needs but rooted in psychodynamic treatment and our therapeutic relationship.

Our work together will provide space for exploration and self-discovery that will lead to increased clarity. Julie will help you find practical tools that will help you move forward.
Creativity is welcomed as a way to process experiences — whether through words, imagery, or reflection.
