About Julie

Are you struggling to find meaning through grief? Are you feeling lost or lonely? Do you feel stuck in grief? Maybe depression has snuck into your life? Are you feeling shock, numbness, pain, or guilt? Maybe you are in the next step of life or a new empty nester and feeling lost. If this sounds like you, you have come to the right place.

Perhaps you are going through a divorce, thinking of divorcing, or a break-up? Maybe a sudden need for a career change, or even empty nesting and looking to navigate the next steps? Perhaps you are struggling with a parent who is going through illness. Change, loss, and grief can be complicated. and is not one size fits all. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.

Are you in a place of searching or yearning for what used to be or what could have been? Are you feeling a loss of sense of yourself or your role in life? If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place. Whatever the case may be, I am here to provide respect, and support and assist you to move to an acceptance of your new way of life and become healthy and happy again.

Grief is universal, inevitable, and difficult. Sometimes we feel others don't want to hear our stories or feel we should "just move on or get over it". That can make us withdraw to a lonely and more isolating place in our lives. I am here to help, acknowledge your pain, and help you through your stuck points.

I work with adult individuals struggling with divorce, post-divorce, break-ups, those needing a listening ear for decision-making, changes in careers, lifestyle, and more. I provide support to caregivers and those in the helping professions, along with individuals who are looking for a change. I use listening, reflecting, nutrition, and meeting you where you are toward your goals. This is about you and your needs.
