Empowering you to find your path

Great to meet you!

As a licensed counselor in Texas with nearly a decade of experience, I am dedicated to supporting teens and adults through their unique journeys. My expertise spans a broad spectrum of concerns, including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and the impacts of emotional and physical abuse. Additionally, I am committed to helping clients navigate and heal from both current and past trauma.

I believe that effective counseling begins with a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental environment. My approach is client-centered, empowering you to make informed decisions while taking responsibility for your choices and the risks involved. Together, we’ll work to build upon your inherent strengths, gifts, and talents, ensuring that you maintain your independence, dignity, and self-respect as you make progress toward your goals.

What folks are saying about Julie

Really like Julie a lot. She is not afraid to challenge you which is something that works well for me. She is down to earth, easy to talk to and very helpful. She always makes me feel like my time is valuable and takes the time we have together seriously. If you need a push I would recommend her. Wonderful person. ~anonymous

Julie is amazing, and helped me so much during our sessions. She listened deeply, gave insightful observations, tips, and things to think about that I ended up keeping with me always. I highly recommend her.~ anonymous

Julie has been a lifesaver for me. I’ve seen many, many, different therapists and she is the first one I’ve personally really connected with and have felt comfortable enough opening up to about my trauma. She’s made a lifelong and incredible impact on my life. I can’t recommend her enough. ~anonymous

How frequently will we meet and for how long?

Most of my clients initially begin with weekly sessions, gradually transitioning to bi-weekly or monthly meetings as they start to see progress.

As each individual is starting to feel better we will discuss if they feel ready to stop counseling knowing that the option to return is always available.

How can I schedule a session with you?

I do all of my administrative work through a company called Headway. This allows me to focus more on my clients rather than paperwork.

Once you create a profile in my Headway account, we can get started!

You’ll recognize the effectiveness of therapy through observable changes: increased clarity in decision-making, a shift in perception of challenges, heightened confidence, and progress toward your goals. Additionally, consistent reflection and feedback sessions with me will help assess and track your growth journey.

Who can benefit from therapy?

Anyone seeking personal or professional growth can benefit from therapy. Whether you’re facing challenges, aiming to elevate your performance, or simply wish to understand and reshape your mindset, my goal is to empower individuals from all walks of life.
