Hello there! I am glad you're here.
|
I’m Julie (she/her), a therapist based in Austin, Texas. I help people explore authenticity, vulnerability, and connection in a way that feels grounded, compassionate, and real.
Many of the people I work with are navigating identity, relationships, burnout, or feeling disconnected from themselves, even if things look “fine” on the outside.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is genuine, relational, and free of judgment.
I aim to create a space where you can be fully yourself, without needing to filter, perform, or have everything figured out. Even when things feel emotional, messy, or uncertain, you won’t have to navigate it alone.
At the core of my work is a belief in growth through awareness, connection, and honest reflection.
One idea that has stayed with me comes from Karamo Brown, who speaks about the power of empathetic listening:
“When we hear the other person, we come to realize that we all want joy and love, and to be free of fears and anxieties…”
That perspective continues to shape how I show up in the therapy room.
Professional Background
I am a licensed therapist in Texas (License No. 76792).
I have experience working with tweens (11+), teens, and adults across a wide range of concerns, with a focus on identity, neurodivergence, burnout, and relationships.
Education
I attended St. Edward's University for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees.
A Bit About Me
I’m a native Austinite and genuinely love living here. I also have family in New England, which means I’m lucky enough to feel at home in more than one place.
One phrase that has stuck with me comes from Tina Fey: "Say yes and figure it out later.”
That mindset has led me to try new things, take meaningful risks, and stay open to experiences and it’s something I often encourage in my work with clients.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m:
