Coaching for high schoolers, college students, and young adults — in private practice, schools, and community settings.
Welcome
Hi, I'm Julie — and I genuinely believe that every young person carries more strength, clarity, and potential than they've been given credit for. Sometimes all it takes is one person who asks the right questions and trusts you to find your own answers.
Whether you're a high schooler figuring out who you are, a college student navigating what comes next, or a recent grad finding your footing in adulthood — you don't have to sort it all out alone. That's what coaching is for.
As a certified Youth Resilience Coach through the Youth Coaching Institute, I use an evidence-based, non-directive approach rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and adolescent development. In our sessions, you lead. I listen deeply, ask questions that open things up, and reflect back what I'm hearing — helping you build clarity, confidence, and a real sense of direction.
Framework
Understanding your values, emotions, identity, and the inner strengths you may not yet see in yourself.
Building a real sense of belonging, authentic relationships, and the support systems that help you thrive.
Growing your self-leadership, resilience, critical thinking — the practical tools for navigating real life.
Who I work with
Identity, confidence, college transitions, and finding direction in a world full of pressure.
Purpose, belonging, managing stress, and navigating some of the biggest decisions of your life.
Post-grad transitions, career clarity, and building a life that feels like yours — not what was expected of you.
Private sessions, school partnerships, and community organizations — wherever young people are.
Small group programs
Sometimes the most powerful growth happens when you realize you're not alone. My small group coaching programs bring together young people navigating similar experiences — a safe, supportive space where every voice matters.
Unpacking the pressure to look a certain way — and building a kinder, more honest relationship with your own body and self-image.

Young adultsGood to know
Coaching isn't therapy — and that's an important distinction. Coaching is forward-focused and goal-oriented. We're not unpacking the past; we're working with where you are now and where you want to go. If deeper mental health support is what's needed, I'll always help connect you with the right resources. Both can be valuable — they simply serve different purposes.
