My Story

How I Got Started

Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor with a Master of Arts degree in Counseling and a concentration in addictions. Julie is also a registered nurse holding an active nursing license in the state of Pennsylvania. She has worked in a helping profession since 2000 where she started her career as a medical assistant. She then earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and ultimately conferred a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Waynesburg University. “I strive to create an environment that is safe and comfortable where my clients feel as if they are being heard and valued with no fear of judgment.” In addition, Julie fosters the development of a trusting relationship. Julie has always had a desire to help others and believes that every individual can become the best version of themselves. “Life is a journey, and we are all on our own path. There is no instruction book and multiple ways to find a solution to a problem—just keep moving forward!”

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends; getting outside and enjoying nature; and different exercise styles such as: spinning, HIIT, yoga, Barre, and strength training. Julie believes that it is imperative to pay attention to one’s basic needs such as adequate sleep, proper diet/nutrition, exercise, and self- care to achieve “living your best life.”
