Hi! I’m Julianne—a mental health professional (WA state) and a DCA® Certified ADR & Pre-Mediation Divorce Coach (U.S). I am also a mama of three adult children and a gran of two littles.

I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology with a focus on trauma and abuse. My Certificate in Narrative Framework Trauma Care, Level II equips me to walk alongside clients as they explore their own stories—uncovering patterns, themes and unspoken binds. I love seeing clients shift in ways that create space for self-compassion and greater self-understanding.

My interest in learning about betrayal trauma led me to certification in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (through APSATS). My scope of work does not involve couple’s recovery work, but I am happy to provide a referral to trusted colleagues who specialize in this area. I have limited space available to work with betrayed partners who are seeking guidance through the common stages of (nonlinear) healing.

To further support trauma recovery, I became an EMDR-trained clinician. I introduce EMDR when clients are ready and in the post-traumatic growth phase. I like to begin with the Calm Place exercise to help clients find moments of peace outside of sessions.

As a DCA® Certified Divorce Coach, with both ADR & Pre-Mediation credentials, my training equips me to empower clients to reach their unique goals in the separation and/or divorce process. My background in the mental health field brings in a trauma-informed lens, although it is important to note that divorce coaching is not therapy. I adhere to ethical standards of practice by clearly defining my role for clients.

My role as a coach is to support clients in clarifying personal values, developing effective communication, and approaching interest-based decisions with a flexible mindset—while allowing space for emotional grounding. As a coach, I use a forward-focused, goal-oriented approach. Together, we’ll focus on where you want to go next—identifying practical steps to give you clarity, confidence, and hope for the future.
