You may look like you’re holding it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, reactive, disconnected, or exhausted by the pressure you put on yourself. Maybe your mind rarely slows down, you overthink everything, struggle with perfectionism, carry the weight of being “the strong one,” or feel stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain. Therapy can be a place to slow down, better understand yourself, and begin healing in a deeper, more lasting way. Hi, I’m Julianne, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), and I’m passionate about helping teen girls and women feel more grounded, understood, and emotionally steady. I believe healing happens through safe, supportive relationships — including the relationship you have with yourself. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and integrative. I blend practical coping tools with deeper emotional work, nervous system support, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Many of the struggles we experience today began as ways our minds and bodies learned to cope with stress, difficult experiences, or relational wounds. Together, we work to understand these patterns with compassion while building greater emotional awareness, flexibility, and resilience. I often incorporate education about the brain and nervous system to help clients better understand anxiety, trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm. When you understand why your mind and body respond the way they do, self-blame often begins to soften. I also utilize Brainspotting, a brain-body approach like EMDR, that can help process experiences and emotions beyond insight alone. I primarily work with teen girls and women navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship stress, grief, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. You do not have to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes you simply want to feel like yourself again. My work is guided by the hope of the gospel and a belief that we are created by God as complex beings — mind, body, and soul. I love helping clients unburden themselves, heal from what is keeping them stuck, and experience the abundant life Jesus Christ offers. For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully integrate faith into our work. For those who prefer a clinically focused space, that is always respected. I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology & Neuroscience from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I have experience supporting adolescents and adults through trauma, anxiety, grief, relational challenges, stress, and life transitions. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs, serving in my local church, cooking, and taking long walks outdoors. I value simplicity, meaningful connection, and creating spaces that feel calm, steady, and restorative.
