Real, lasting progress
Session by session, you build practical tools and insight. Julie adjusts as you grow, so therapy keeps meeting you where you are.
What you can count on
A relaxed first consultation
Your first session is simply a conversation. Julie listens to what brought you in, answers your questions, and helps you feel comfortable. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to.
Complete confidentiality
What you share stays private. Julie maintains strict confidentiality in line with professional and legal standards, with only the limited exceptions required by law (such as risk of harm).
Session length & frequency
Sessions are typically about 50 minutes. Many people begin weekly and adjust over time — together you’ll find a rhythm that fits your needs and life.
Goals that are yours
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. You and Julie set goals that matter to you, and she tailors her approach using 30+ years of experience and proven methods.
Progress over time
Change rarely happens overnight, and that’s okay. Step by step you build insight and practical tools. Julie checks in on what’s working and adjusts as you grow.
A pace that feels right
You’re always in control of what you explore and when. Julie meets you where you are — gently, patiently, and without judgment.
