You deserve relationships where you feel understood, valued, and able to show up as your authentic self. Whether you are navigating the challenges of neurodivergence, healing from trauma, or feeling disconnected from the people you care about most, Julie is committed to helping you build deeper self-understanding, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of confidence and connection. She believes that healing happens in the context of safe, supportive relationships and works collaboratively with clients to create meaningful and lasting change.

Julie is a Limited Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LLMFT) who earned her Master of Science in Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Texas Tech University in 2025. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and works from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy frameworks. Her approach is warm, validating, and direct, while remaining tailored to the unique experiences, strengths, and goals of each client.

Julie specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals, couples, and families, including those with ADHD, autism, and neurodivergent traits. As a neurodivergent therapist herself, she is passionate about helping clients better understand their needs, navigate masking and burnout, strengthen self-advocacy, and build relationships that honor who they are. She also specializes in trauma and complex trauma (C-PTSD), including childhood trauma, sexual trauma, abuse, neglect, and religious trauma. Her work with couples focuses on improving communication, navigating conflict, rebuilding emotional connection, and fostering intimacy, with particular interest in neurodiverse relationships and helping couples navigate the impact of past trauma on their relationship.

Julie works with individuals, couples, families, and children ages 4 and older, with a special passion for tweens/teens and couples. When she is not in the therapy office, she enjoys exploring nature, baking, and playing board games.
