Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
About Julie
As a licensed therapist in Indiana, I bring 17 years of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging transitions. My practice centers on helping women navigate complex emotional landscapes, including personal growth, relationship changes, and significant life stages.
I specialize in supporting clients through life transformation through grief, caregiving roles, and new health challenges like infertility, cancer, or autoimmune issues. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person’s unique journey, with particular expertise in areas like caregiver stress, women’s health, and emotional healing during major life transitions.
Drawing from a grief-informed perspective, I offer a warm, supportive environment where individuals can explore personal growth, address feelings of isolation, and rediscover their sense of purpose. Whether you’re experiencing life changes, processing difficult emotions, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
My therapeutic work honors the complexity of human experience, focusing on healing, self-compassion, and personal resilience. I provide a safe, respectful space where you can explore your challenges and strengths with understanding and hope.

What clients say
- “She’s been great”
- “Although it’s been fairly recent that I started working with Julie - she has helped me SO much already. She listens and pays attention to what some may think are small, insignificant details… she truly cares, and reminds me that I am worthy of the help I’m seeking, and that I’m enough. Multiple traumas and all.<br /> She messages me at least once, sometimes twice in between our therapy sessions to check in and see how I’m doing and feeling - and I love her for that.<br /> She’s an amazing therapist, and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who might be looking for a therapist.”
- “Julia is a phenomenal therapist, from day one she showed interest and listened to everything. I’ve said she remembers when you have conversations with her down the road. She has also helped me greatly with my day-to-day mental health and has helped me grow stronger as a person.”
