Julie uses relationship-centered methods to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions often look like focused conversations about patterns, feelings, and goals. She draws on attachment ideas to understand connection and on emotionally focused techniques to address intense moments between partners.
Her background includes work across many stages of adult life and in different relationship setups. She pairs tools from the Gottman Method with mindfulness skills to support communication and reduce reactivity. Julie describes her work as collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
In therapy she helps people address family of origin issues, blended family challenges, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and parenting stresses. She also supports clients dealing with body image, eating and food-related concerns, abandonment and attachment wounds, and caregiver fatigue.

Approaches you may use in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. In practice this means talking about patterns of closeness and distance and linking current reactions to past experiences, which can help with relationship anxiety and trust issues.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses between partners. It helps people notice difficult moments, express core feelings, and create new interaction patterns that reduce conflict and increase connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That means trying different techniques and adjusting when something doesn’t fit.
Her past practice has included live video and phone sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or other commitments. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can shorten travel time, allow for brief check-ins during a busy week, and make it simpler to continue work while living in a different state or country.
