Julie has been easy to speak to about sensitive subjects. It is difficult for me to be vulnerable, and Julie sets a tone on our calls that allows some of those defenses to be lowered. I’m grateful.

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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

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!
