A note from Julie
Over 20 years of experience practicing as Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with individuals, families, couples, adults, and children. I am a trauma focused therapist and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing or EMDR. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focus Approach. I recently completed over 300 hours of substance abuse training. I also have a doctorate in higher education. I take a partnership role with my clients. I am nonjudgmental and embrace diversity. I love being a therapist and look forward to meeting you!
