Helping You Grow as a Counselor – From Student to Professional

 

     Hi, I’m Julie, and I know firsthand how overwhelming the journey from counseling student to professional can feel. The late nights of studying, the pressure to develop your own therapeutic style, the imposter syndrome—it’s all part of the process. But you don’t have to navigate it alone.

​​

     I’m here to support, guide, and empower you as you build your professional counselor identity. Whether you’re just starting your master’s program, preparing for licensure, or stepping into your first role as a clinician, my mission is to provide you with the tools, confidence, and community you need to thrive.

​

     Through my research, mentorship, and advocacy, I focus on helping counselors-in-training find their voice—not just in the classroom, but in the profession as a whole. Engaging in professional counseling organizations changed my own journey, and I’m passionate about showing new professionals how these spaces can provide mentorship, networking, and personal growth opportunities.

​

     If you’re looking for real talk, practical strategies, and encouragement from someone who truly understands this journey, you’re in the right place. Let’s build your confidence, sharpen your skills, and shape the future of counseling—together.
