Family of Origin

The family we grew up in shapes us in ways we often don't see until they start showing up everywhere.

The family we grew up in shapes us in ways we often don't see until they start showing up in our relationships, our reactions, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Old wounds and early messages have a way of running quietly in the background, long after we've left the room they were formed in. With intention, we will work on bringing them into the light, understanding their hold, and finally rewriting what no longer belongs to you.

Your therapist

Hi, I'm Julie.

I've spent over nine years doing this work, and my love for it has only grown. What most of us are searching for, beneath the anxiety and the conflict and the numbness, is connection. To ourselves, to the people we love, to something that actually feels true.

I bring my full self into the room. I'm direct when that helps, and I know how to be quiet when that's what matters. I'm not here to fix you. You're not broken. I'm here to help you see yourself more clearly and trust what you find.

I live in North Bend and practice in Issaquah. I show up in this community the same way I show up in the room with you. Present, honest, and all in.
