  • "Julie provided expressive writing groups for clients with PTSD. Her groups provided guidance and emotional safety, allowing our clients an opportunity to dive deeply into their personal trauma histories, gaining further clarity, healing and resolution.

The support and healing that clients felt was frequently a topic of discussion in other, related groups. Julie is a sophisticated, safe and powerful guide for individuals seeking healing. I trust her with our most vulnerable clients.”
