She specializes in working with adults experiencing issues such as self-esteem, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Her extensive experience in diverse settings, including substance use treatment, community mental health, and outpatient centers, has given her a deep understanding of human behavior and a broad skill set for addressing mental health concerns.
Julie holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee, where she also earned a certificate in trauma treatment, and a Bachelor of Psychology from Middle Tennessee State University, with minors in Mental Health Services and Women and Gender Studies. Earlier in her career, Julie spent 15 years working in Occupational Therapy.

At the heart of Julie’s practice is the belief in everyone’s capacity for growth and healing. Her goal is to collaborate with clients on their journey toward greater well-being. She is a firm believer in the power of connection and empathy, and she strives to create a warm and non-judgmental atmosphere in her sessions. She utilizes a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, tailoring treatment to individual needs and incorporating techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, brainspotting, interpersonal therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and more.
