Hello, World: An Introduction to Your New Blogger

Well, look - information about me is actually all over this website already. I'm a psycholoigst. I was educationed and trained in Connecticut, with a side quest in Miami-Dade County for my internship. I returned to CT and finished my postdoc, obtained my license, and the rest is history. I went into private practice in 2016. As of of this blog post, I've been working for myself for almost 10 years. Starting out, I couldn't imagine myself feeling like I knew what I was doing, but I have been around the block a few times - and - I'm still learning every day. You can visit my About Me page to learn more.

I have a few passions I should point out - you'll see these topics come up a fair number of times in posts.

• Getting a diagnosis right is important to me. And to the client. My goal is to help more people get it right.

• Occasionally, I will not be staying in my traditional lane. Politics are wonky these days, and what happens out there impacts me AND the people I serve.

• Every person deserves to be treated with respect. We have skills for engaging in productive conflict, but healthy boundaries are important, too. It you can't play nice, I can find another sandbox to play in.

• I'm a dog mom. I refer to them a lot, because the behavioral strategies I train with work with people, animals, ... just about anything!

Feel free to follow along or subscribe! I'm not necessarily to publish on a schedule, but when the universe dumps an idea on me, I'll be scrambling to share it with you.

Sending you calm vibes.

Dr. Julie
