About Me
Hello! I'm Julie. Thank you for stopping by.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in McKinney, TX, and my lifelong passion has been to walk alongside others on their journey from pain and hurt toward healing, wholeness, and freedom. I believe that we all have the capacity for change and that, no matter where you are in your journey, there is hope.
Maybe you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious. You might be facing a painful relationship or life transition, carrying wounds from your past, or trying to make sense of experiences that have left you questioning yourself. Or do you sense that something needs to change, but you're not sure what comes next. Wherever you find yourself, I would be honored to join you on your journey—to help you understand where you've been, discover where you want to go, and become more fully who you are.
My approach to therapy is rooted in an attachment perspective, offering relationally based, trauma-informed therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can be an important part of healing. Together, we'll explore the patterns, beliefs, relationships, and experiences that have shaped you, while creating space to discover who you are beneath what others may have made you believe about yourself—or who you feel you are supposed to be.
I work primarily with women navigating codependency and people-pleasing, difficult or unhealthy relationships, family-of-origin wounds, emotional abuse and gaslighting, trauma, anxiety, separation and divorce, and major life transitions. I also have a special interest in working with therapists and other helping professionals. Through our work together, my hope is that you can develop healthier boundaries, heal from the past, reconnect with yourself, and grow in the freedom to live more fully as the person you were created to be.
I also incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. These modalities can be tailored to your needs and integrated into our work together.
