This life experience, coupled with her formal training, equips Julie with a unique perspective and empathy that enrich her therapeutic practice. Outside of work, Julie enjoys Bible study, which she finds deeply enriching. She has also forged strong connections through her involvement in the War Dragons community, where teamwork and strategy play vital roles. Her hobbies include adult coloring books, crochet, piano, reading, and writing, all of which contribute to her well-rounded approach to life and therapy.
