About

Transformation from Clarity, Embodiment, and Choice

Hi, I'm Julie. I'm passionate about supporting people in feeling at home within themselves: helping you get clear on what is driving you under the surface, how you might get your needs met more effectively, and how you can connect with the wisdom of your body to learn to trust yourself and get clear on those needs. I believe we each have the potential for growth and fulfillment through better self-understanding. I offer guidance as you integrate the known and unknown parts of yourself, moving towards insight, authenticity, and choice. I enjoy helping people connect with what lights them up, and bringing curiosity and playfulness into the self-exploration process. I am passionate about building healthy interpersonal relationships, and supporting a shift from codependency to personal empowerment. I utilize mindfulness and the mind-body connection in my approach. I draw from modalities including Gestalt, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), somatic experiencing, existential therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Internal Family Systems. I am also a musician and can incorporate the expressive arts into therapy for those interested. I value social justice, and welcome conversations about how our intersectional identities inform our experiences of privilege, oppression, and mental health. My goal is to be a source of warmth, presence, and support as you explore the many facets of who you are.
