Julia is passionate about walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s toughest challenges. Whether you're facing trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, or relationship struggles, Julia creates a safe, non-judgmental space where healing, hope, and restoration can begin.

​

Specializing in working with individuals, couples, and teens, Julia has been a part-time counselor at NWCC since 2014, offering appointments on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 4:15 PM. She also brings over 30 years of experience in Human Resources, including executive coaching, employee relations, career development, training, and resolving workplace conflicts. This professional background has deepened her understanding of how personal and professional lives intersect, and how healing and growth can occur in both areas.

​

Julia holds a Master’s in Professional Counseling, along with a Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies in Christian Counseling from Ottawa University and a Graduate Diploma in Christian Counseling from Phoenix Seminary. Her clinical training includes internships at Scottsdale Bible Church’s Counseling Center and Calvary Addiction Recovery Center, where she worked with individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges. She is also experienced as a facilitator for programs such as Prepare-Enrich (pre-marital counseling), Mending the Soul (trauma and abuse recovery), and How We Love (marital enrichment).

​

As a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, Julia’s faith is central to her work. Romans 12:2 is one of her favorite verses, constantly reminding her that transformation begins with the renewal of our minds. Julia believes that God’s love and healing power can transform lives, and she integrates biblical principles with counseling practices to offer a holistic approach to healing.
