Hi, I'm Julie.

​

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving adults, teens, and couples in Oregon and California.

​

Many of the people I work with feel stuck. They may be struggling with anxiety, relationship conflict, life transitions, disordered eating, perfectionism, or a sense that they have lost touch with themselves or the people they love.

​

For couples, this often looks like having the same argument over and over, feeling disconnected despite loving each other, or getting caught in patterns where one partner pursues while the other withdraws. For individuals, it may feel like constantly taking care of others, feeling overwhelmed, or being hard on yourself in ways that no longer serve you.

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I believe that our behaviors, emotions, and coping strategies make sense within the context of our lives, even when they create pain or no longer work for us. Rather than focusing on what is "wrong" with you, therapy can help us understand how your experiences, relationships, and emotions have shaped the way you move through the world.

I strive to create a therapy relationship that feels genuine, supportive, and deeply respectful. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, develop greater self-understanding, and build new ways of relating to yourself and others.

​

I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, including Core Skills, Beyond Core Skills, and over 100 hours of consultation and supervision. I have also completed training in EMDR, AEDP, the Gottman Method, and Internal Family Systems Theory.

​

I became a therapist because I believe that difficult experiences can become opportunities for growth, connection, and resilience. My own experiences with therapy and healing have given me deep respect for the courage it takes to ask for help.

​

I welcome people of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, and identities, and I strive to provide culturally responsive and affirming care.

​

I look forward to meeting you.
