My Approach
As a therapist, I am honored to be invited into the most sacred and intimate aspects of people's lives. I will take the time to get to know you and, with compassion and curiosity, guide you to see yourself more clearly. I believe the most important relationship in life is the one we have with ourselves. Together, we will cultivate a deeper honesty within yourself by developing a strong sense of who you are, how you feel, and what you need. When you trust that you are worthy of love, care, and connection, you show up differently in your relationships. I believe that life is incomplete without authentic intimacy in relationships, and the noblest journey in life is the search for connection and belonging.
In my work, I use a nurturing and direct approach while providing individualized and culturally sensitive care. My approach is relational and influenced by psychodynamic, existential, and attachment theories. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Couples Therapy. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and use this therapeutic technique to help people heal from traumatic memories. I welcome and honor the intersecting identities and experiences of my clients. I am sensitive to issues related to gender, race, ethnicity, ability, spirituality, privilege, and socioeconomic status.
Hi, I’m Julie
I've been practicing as a therapist for over 8 years, and my passion for this work continues to grow. The complexities of the human experience fascinate me, and I thrive on building deep connections with others. As an intuitive and social introvert, I've come to embrace my sensitive nature as a strength. My interest in people's stories, along with my own journey to wholeness, led me to pursue a career in psychotherapy. I earned my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University. My undergraduate studies were in Psychology and Religion from Vanguard University.
Beyond my role as a therapist, I am a wife, mother, and dog mom. I find joy in being a runner and love finding ways to play and challenge myself within the sport. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I'm constantly awed by its beauty and grateful to call it home. You’ll often find me in the mountains, chasing my dog. The great outdoors serve as my sanctuary and the place I head for introspection, grounding, and a feeling of wildness.

Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the “No Surprises Act,” which requires mental health practitioners to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) about out-of-network care to any patient who is uninsured or who is insured but does not plan to use their insurance benefits to pay for health care items and/ or services.
The Good Faith Estimate works to show the cost of items and services that are reasonably expected for your mental health care needs for an item or service. The estimate is based on information known at the time the estimate was created. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment.
You are entitled to receive this “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for psychotherapy services provided to you.
While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person upon the initiation of psychotherapy, this form provides an estimate of the cost of services provided. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of psychotherapy sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you.
This estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to obtain any services from the provider(s) listed, nor does it include any services rendered to you that are not identified here.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
