Julie brings 30 years of clinical experience to our practice and takes a whole-person approach to care. Her treatment philosophy centers on the belief that humans are complex yet share an innate need for connection and love, and that our healing needs evolve throughout the lifespan. As a process-oriented therapist, she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and the Gottman Method, taking a multi-modal approach that considers the whole person. Julie is passionate about helping patients build healthy relationships and quality lives, always following the lead of the individual, who she considers the expert in their own life.
Originally from Montana, Julie has practiced in Washington and Oregon and is thrilled to call Bend home. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her at the gym, on the tennis court, or walking around our beautiful city. She also loves spending time with her daughter, making jewelry, reading, and exploring local thrift shops.
