She comes to Centennial Park Counseling from Roots Therapeutic Specialty Services where she developed her clinical skillset as a clinical therapist.

Julie is passionate about counseling teens and young adults and it is shown in her previous work with teens, both inner-city and suburban. Julie enjoys counseling adults as well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR trained), and Play Therapy are her most commonly used therapy types with clients. She aims to continue learning and growing as a clinician and strives to serve each client to the very best of her ability.

Julie’s Bible verse for her counseling profession comes from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” Julie believes the spiritual aspect to counseling is vital along with the physical and mental aspect.
