She works with adults on relationship concerns, family of origin issues, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life circumstances.

Julie focuses on how early family roles and patterns continue to shape current relationships. She talks through attachment concerns, abandonment worries, and communication problems in clear, practical terms.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, name feelings, and practice new ways of relating. Conversations aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with time spent on skill-building and decision points.

How Julie applies therapy approaches online

Julie integrates attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused therapy to help people understand how early family roles affect current relationships. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and distance and how those patterns show up now. Emotionally-focused work focuses on identifying core emotions and reshaping how people respond to one another to improve connection.

She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication habits and conflict cycles. Gottman-informed work involves clear skill practice around managing arguments, rebuilding trust, and improving day-to-day interactions. These methods are practical and map well onto sessions where the goal is clearer relating and better problem solving.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of attachment work, EFT, or Gottman skills to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Details about formats should be confirmed before booking; the biography mentions live video and phone as options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find virtual sessions useful for practicing communication skills in real time and keeping momentum between meetings.
