ABOUT
For more than two decades, Julie has been working together with clients, assisting them in living their best lives.
Her practice of integrative psychotherapy embraces cutting-edge somatic techniques which are firmly grounded in in research and available to address individual needs and circumstances, augmenting traditional psychodynamic talk therapy.
Julie’s work with couples is informed by her training in Ellyn Bader’s Developmental model of couples therapy, as well as Dr. Stan Tatkin’s Psychobiological approach (PACT), which assists couples in getting quickly to the heart of their tensions and conflicts.
She holds a PSEP certification in Somatic Experiencing, the body-oriented therapy applied in multiple professional settings for healing trauma and is certified in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), addressing persistent survival styles appropriate to the past but not the present, as well as the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) that promotes a neural platform for health, growth, and restoration.
Julie also has additional specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which reprograms distressing memories and images stored in the brain through use of rapid eye movements; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective method for treating anxiety and depression as well as panic disorders and PTSD; and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the “gold standard” in addressing obsessive and compulsive disorders.
She earned her Bachelor’s degree at Washington University and Masters degrees at both UMSL and the Maryland University of Integrative Health.
Julie is licensed to practice psychotherapy in Missouri and Illinois.
