Julie is a Nashville-based therapist who is passionate about working with individuals to navigate life transitions, manage emotional challenges, explore identity, and build more meaningful relationships. She brings warmth, presence, and curiosity into the therapy room and is especially drawn to issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity.
While she incorporates a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet the needs of each individual client, Julie frequently uses a relational, psychodynamic, and existential lens in her work. Believing that therapy is most effective when clients feel deeply seen and understood, Julie is attentive to how personal history, identity, and context shape internal experience and interpersonal patterns. Julie works collaboratively with clients to explore their inner world, increase self-awareness, and move toward greater authenticity and fulfillment.
Before becoming a therapist, Julie practiced law for a decade. Although she found meaning in her legal work, she ultimately felt called to mental health counseling. Her experiences as an attorney and a mother continue to shape her therapeutic presence with empathy and intention.
Prior to joining Nashville Psych’s training program, Julie completed a clinical internship at Lipscomb University Counseling Center, where she provided therapy to college students. She is pursuing her Master’s degree in Human Development Counseling at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College and is a student member of both the American Counseling Association and the Nashville Psychotherapy Institute.
When she’s not working with clients, Julie enjoys running, yoga, hiking with her family, exploring Nashville’s parks, and listening to a good podcast.
