More about Julie

  • 24 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

I am licensed clinical therapist for the state of Minnesota. I have 24 years of working as a therapist and continue to be inspired by the resiliency I see in people. I have experience in working with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, depression, and many other areas of life and mental health issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. For those who are interested, I am happy to incorporate the person's faith beliefs into therapy as I have worked primarily for Christian based clinics over my career. My main goal is to help others' discover their individual strengths because everyone has them.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have benefitted from my therapy with Julie in multiple ways. She recognized aspects of my brokenness around a succession of deaths in my family, and has helped me get back on track with living.

I’ve only seen Julie a couple times at this point, but she has made me feel so at ease and able to talk with her about the hard topics in my life. She really listens and wants to make you comfortable in sharing; she’s not judgmental in any way. She has great suggestions of moving forward with our sessions and what I should be able to get out of them, as well as outside of therapy. I look forward to working with her more!
