In 2008, Julie met and began training with Terry Real, the founder of Relational Life Therapy (RLT). It was then she began a journey of professional and personal growth of Full Respect Living, the basic tenet of RLT.

She has used this model to help clients discover their inherent self esteem, heal their early wounds, and deepen their personal relationships with skill and integrity. In 2022, she became a faculty member for the Relational Life Institute, and now trains therapists and provides community learning opportunities such as Men’s Groups and Relationship Skills Bootcamps.  She is also trained in EMDR, ACT, DBT, Gestalt and the Enneagram.
