Julie is such an asset to the Sol team! Her expertise with children is enlightening. Call today for an evening appointment.
Julie was born and raised in Muskingum County, where her passion for helping others first took root. She began her academic journey at West Liberty State University, studying Exercise Physiology before shifting her focus to a field more closely aligned with her desire to support and uplift others. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Child and Family Services from Muskingum University, followed by a Master of Science in Social Work from Ohio University in 2023. Julie is currently working toward obtaining her LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) licensure, which she expects to complete in October.
She chose the field of social work because of her deep commitment to guiding individuals through life’s challenges, particularly adolescents and young adults facing ADHD, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and self-esteem concerns. She previously worked with a focus on social determinants of health, helping her patients overcome the many barriers to mental health and wellness.
Today, most of Julie’s professional time is spent in the school-based health setting, where she helps children navigate a range of social and mental health needs. She is also in the process of training a therapy dog to enhance her practice and further support her clients. Julie is dedicated to helping clients find hope and healing using a wide-range of therapeutic approaches integrated with mindfulness techniques.
Outside of work, she finds joy in spending time with her four children, her service dog in training, and loves being anywhere with sunshine and a beach.
