Theoretical Orientation:
Julie uses the foundation of a person centered perspective in her work with clients. This means she focuses on listening and seeking to understand the experiences of each person and works to develop a relationship where the client feels safe, respected, and valued. From this foundation, Julie works collaboratively with each person to identify desired changes and ways those changes can be realized.

Julie incorporates a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive, feminist, and developmental theories to understand the path of the individual client. She also incorporates the social, cultural, and personal values of the client, so that any changes the individual chooses to make are consistent with their identity.

Professional Interests:
Julie's counseling interests include working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and post-trauma symptoms. She particularly enjoys being at IUPUI due to the opportunity to work with such a diverse student population and engage cross-culturally. As a former Training Director, Julie continues to enjoy supervising counselors in training and giving back to the profession. More recently, she has become involved in working at the campus-wide level to help faculty, staff, and students to identify individuals in distress and provide appropriate intervention and referrals.
