大家好,欢迎! I've been a member of the King's community since February 2013. I received my Master of Social Work from Marywood University and my Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Elizabethtown College. Before coming to King's, I spent over 10 years working with children and adolescents in a school-based mental health setting and with children and families involved in the child welfare system.
Aside from my role at King's, I also currently work in a private practice seeing adolescents and adults. My approach is strength-based, and in the work I do with students, I most often use a combination of solution-focused and 认知行为 therapy. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers, the American College Counseling Association, and the Association of University and College 咨询中心 Directors.
I am a member of the King's CARE Team. Some of my professional areas of interest include managing stress, 焦虑, 和抑郁, as well as working through perfectionism, developing healthy 的关系s, 建立自尊, 改善身体形象, coping with 悲伤和失落, and using mindfulness meditation.
I am passionate about upholding the social work value of respecting the inherent dignity and worth of the person. I am a Safe Space Ally and participate in regular continuing education and training to ensure I am practicing with cultural humility and inclusivity. I am also a first-generation college student and strive to encourage and empower those students who share this experience.
Outside of my professional life, I spend time with my husband (a King's alum!), two daughters and our border collie mix, Lily. I love watching football and spending time reading and cooking!

你好! My name is Julie and I have been a counselor at King's since August of 2021. I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Scranton and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Marywood University.
Before coming to King's, I worked as a drug and alcohol counselor in Orlando, FL, working with adults struggling with substance abuse disorder. I also worked as a school counselor in Orlando where I worked with students who struggled with learning and behavioral disorders, as well as students who were integrating back into the school system from the juvenile detention system. While I was still in graduate school, I worked as an intern in the counseling center at Misericordia University, where I provided students with individual therapy, 心理教育, and outreach programming.
My counseling approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral and person-centered therapy. My professional areas of interest include 焦虑, 抑郁症, 的关系, and communication concerns, working with sexual assault survivors, 悲伤和失落, identity and sexuality exploration, substance abuse and 生命转换. I am a Safe Space Ally and have participated in and continue to participate in regular continuing education on cultural competency, 多样性, 和包容.
当我不工作的时候, I spend time with my friends, family and cat, Arlo. 我喜欢阅读。, 被外, listening to true crime podcasts and indulging in a good Netflix binge!
