More about Julie
- 20 years' experience

- LCSW
I have been a social worker/helper at heart since childhood and have worked in the field of behavioral health for well over 20 years. I am passionate about helping others and that has been the focus of my life. I feel fortunate to be a part of the personal growth, renewal and emotional healing in my clients.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science from Western International University in May 2000 and earned my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University in May 2003. I am independently licensed by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
I was raised in Arizona and have called Tucson my home since 2000. I live with my wonderful husband and two English Springer Spaniels.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
