About me

I am an Individual, Couple and Family Counselor licensed in the State of Indiana. My undergraduate degree is in Marriage and Family Relations. My Master's Degree is in Counseling Psychology, and my doctoral work is also in Counseling Psychology. I have been a professional counselor for 35 years. I have served numerous clients, with a variety of life issues during this time, including anxiety, depression, relationship/intimacy, parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and domestic violence, as well as many others. I have a special interest in helping nurture, strengthen and heal intimate relationships. With emphases on mutual respect; effective communication and conflict resolution skills; understanding what each brings to the relationship; and relationship dynamics; I love working with couple clients to help serve the best interests of their relationship.

My primary counseling style is very relational and respectful. I believe that all persons deserve kindness, sensitivity and understanding. My therapeutic approach includes cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive and psychoeducational styles. While I would never impose my values or beliefs on anyone, I am a Christian who is comfortable providing biblically-based counseling. I tailor this to each client's request and theology. I have served numerous clients who are of other faiths, or no faith, over the years. Applying biblical principals is as individual as any other aspect of the assistance I provide to each unique client.

I love helping others experience growth and health, in themselves and in their relationships. Seeking assistance in this process can be a bit intimidating, and I applaud you for taking this step. I very much look forward to meeting you and helping you in any way I am able.

I appreciate the guidance she has given my wife and I so far.

Written on Jun 09, 2023 after therapy with Julie for 3 months on issues concerning relationship

Julie has been absolutely wonderful. Truly the best marriage therapist we’ve ever had. She listens so well, provided such great feedback and advice and exercises for us to work on outside of our hour long session, and also is lovingly firm in expecting us to hold to our end of the bargain, so to speak. She is very understanding and as flexible as she possibly can be. I hope we do not need therapy forever, but would gladly stay with Julie as long as we need to! Highly recommend Julie and give her 10/10!!

Julie has been absolutely wonderful and in a very short amount of time has helped me to remember some skills I already had and has given me some new insight to incorporate into my life and routine. It has really helped to alleviate the mental and emotional load I have been carrying around that has convoluted my life. She is very wise and a great listener. I have appreciated having her in my corner.

Julie is certainly helpful and thoughtful to consider both sides. I took on her services for mother and daughter counseling and we have certainly seen progress in our relationship and ability to communicate with one another. I like that she does not take sides but really weighs what is being said and focuses on helping each person improve themselves and focus on their actions over the other persons. I certainly recommend Julie.
