“Approximately three years ago I met Julie for the first time at one of her workshops.  I had endured several major life stressors all within six months and was feeling depressed, isolated, and completely overwhelmed.  I mustered up the courage to attend the workshop and as I walked in, was so overwhelmed I began to cry.  Julie demonstrated empathy and compassion and was exactly what I needed.  She provides a therapeutic environment that provides safety, honesty, compassion, empathy, and initiates self-reflection and self-discovery.  In the time we have worked together, have gone back to school, started a new career, and according to friends I have become the “wise one”.  I have more clarity, mental autonomy, and have a stronger resiliency than ever before.  When friend ask how I’ve done it…I say, move 3000 miles away from family and friends, fall into a deep depression, dig deep with a good therapist, and the rest falls into place.”  Connie, age 39
