is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Julie believes that the strongest catalyst for change is a relationship built on empathy and radical honesty. She views therapy as a collaborative journey, walking alongside her clients as they navigate life’s hurdles. By focusing on your innate strengths, Julie helps you build a practical toolkit of skills designed to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth.
