Hi! I'm Julie. I graduated from Clemson University with my M.Ed. in Professional Counseling. I have been in private practice in the Charleston area since 2013. I specialize in marriage and couples counseling, premarital counseling, individual counseling, and Christian counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I'm currently certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I hold certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and in my work with couples I practice Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).
I have dedicated my career to helping people get their lives back on track. I believe that you can live an abundant life from here forward, no matter where you are or how you got there. As your counselor, I will help you set goals for therapy and reach them through a variety of techniques. I am here to help you see that healing is possible and can be a reality for your life.
I am trained to recognize patterns in emotion and behavior. I will use my training to help you better understand the things that burden you. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a proven model that identifies where false thinking patterns come from and teaches you how to correct them. For therapy related to relationships and couples, I use a model called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which re-engineers the predictable negative cycles that couples get stuck in. I will teach you how to recognize those cycles as they happen, how to communicate effectively through conflict, and how to express your needs & reach for connection in a way that your partner is able to receive.
Sometimes life takes a turn that we didn’t expect, and we don’t know how to work through it. The burden of stress, depression, and trauma can hold us back from happiness that we once knew and hope to regain. I have journeyed through situations like this, and I am here to help you find peace and happiness on your journey.
Currently I am a graduate student finishing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Liberty University. I developed a career in business management over the last two decades and decided to pursue becoming a counselor after seeing the benefit of counseling when facing and seeing loved ones face trauma, loss, and feelings of hopelessness. My hope is to provide the care and support that can improve the wellness and happiness for those seeking a solution. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. I look forward to connecting with you and starting a journey of healing together.
