About Me

Julie has wanted to be a counselor since 7th grade and feels so blessed that God allowed her to follow her dreams and find a place here at Hope Christian Counseling. She currently has an M.A. in Counseling and is licensed as an CMHC. 

Julie strives to create a genuine, honest, non-judgmental, and empathetic relationship with her clients. She hopes to foster a sense of safety, trust, and compassion as you work together to help manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship issues, and whatever else you may be struggling with. She believes people have the power to heal and grow and believes it is her job to help her clients feel supported and to empower them with the tools needed to make lasting life changes. Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as other therapies and techniques, building a plan around her client’s needs. She is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy^® (ART^®) for trauma and level 1 of The Gottman Method for marriage counseling.

I practice what I preach when it comes to maintaining my own mental health. I enjoy being in nature, listening to water flowing through creek beds and the sound of wind through the trees; it fills me with a holy peace and resets my busy mind. I also intentionally seek out community through my friends, family, and church, which makes me feel supported and loved.
