Hey! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Julie, a Registered Psychotherapist and Approved Supervisor with the CRPO. So here is a bit about me. I’ve been in the mental health field for 15+ years, and a therapist for 10 years. I specialise in trauma as I see so much trauma impacting people’s daily lives and increasing individuals anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, etc. etc. I figure if we can deal with things at the root issue then the rest of the challenges start to dissipate.
I’ve worked with many populations over the years, though I specialise in first responders, veterans and military, and survivors of exploitation, religious trauma and cult abuse. I have worked with personality disorders, bipolar, self-harm, suicidal behaviours, as well as anxiety, depression and performance challenges. I strongly believe that we as humans need holistic healing to be able to reach our full potential, so I utilise a holistic approach that is catered to each client’s specific needs.
I love to be creative with my clients and their treatment plans, I use various therapeutic approaches to facilitate a more holistic and client-centred approach to working through your challenges. I am very outgoing and I can help others immediately feel comfortable and at ease. I very intentionally create a safe, compassionate, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment so you can feel free to be yourself.
One of the ways that I love to create client centred approaches is by offering EMDR Intensives and EMDR Intensive Retreats. I have found that they can be so powerful in people’s healing as you can intensively work through a lot of content in a short period of time without the feeling of it lagging on over weeks, months or even years. This can help prevent those experiences or negative beliefs from becoming even more compounded through different situations that arise.

Some of the other things that I do is supervise other therapists who are pursuing their registration with the CRPO, or certification with EMDRIA. I provide performance and professional development coaching for executives and therapists - if you’re interested in that please check out The No BS Therapist. Lastly, I have worked with and currently work with non-profit organisations as well as corporate companies focusing on communication, psychological assessment, curriculum development, training, consulting, and equipping staff and team members. I develop and deliver customised training modules for teams that play to their strengths and encourages them to grow and develop.
