Meet Julianne

My beginning to my final goal

 My education spans decades of academic pursuits prior to reaching my final goal, becoming a Life Consultant. I began my career in the Mental Health field 27 years ago, first as a Mental Health Employment Specialist then moving on to becoming a State Rehabilitation Counselor, monitoring Mental Health Case Service Contracts for the next 20 years, while also working p/t for the community college district as an adjunct counselor/vocational instructor. This is where I was introduced to community resourcing. I found my students needed more help than academia, but also with personal issues like homelessness, employment, vocational direction and overall assistance with life’s challenges.

Upon my retirement as a State Rehabilitation Counselor, I decided to return to college to pursue another goal, Marriage and Family Therapy to help gain a more in-depth knowledge of how one’s mental health affects one’s ability to move forward in life because I realized how important it was for clients to have a positive self image, stability and balance in their personal lives prior to beginning work on the original problem they came in with.

I then began my four year internship working with the mental health population. My approach to counseling centered on CBT and Client Centered Counseling. I soon realized that rather than structured evidence based modalities though sometimes quite helpful, the majority of clients appeared to respond better to simple basic empathy, active listening and exploring alternatives to enhance their daily lives by providing unbiased, emotional support and guidance in helping them with realistic problem resolution. Many of the clients basic problems needed to be addressed prior to their moving forward with their mental health and personal issues.

Reality sets in

Though I worked as a Licensed Therapist for a brief period after completing my internship, I soon began to realize I enjoyed my work at the community college so much more than limiting myself to structured counseling modalities. Why? Because I loved providing students with a comprehensive approach to their situations by being able to address all of their needs without limiting their struggles to only mental health needs while so many other important areas in their lives had been overlooked.

After a few years into retirement, I knew it wasn’t for me. I needed to get back to what I truly loved, helping others and community resourcing. But how could I duplicate what I had learned and practiced working at the college. Then, I read about Life Coaching. It seemed to encompass everything I loved and had basically been practicing for the majority of my working life. I’m living proof that one can begin a new chapter at any age and point in one’s life. Since making the decision to get back to what I love doing my life has become meaningful and enriched because I thoroughly enjoy helping my clients fulfill their goals and dreams.

Below I am including my educational resume to provide you with a better understanding of the circuitous path I took in reaching my final goal. I would love to have the honor of helping you reach yours as well. Please remember: to do nothing is a sure way to prevent you from fulfilling your destiny and it’s never too late to begin that journey.

What others are saying...

I can’t recommend Julianne enough. She helped me rediscover who I was and what I needed to get my life back on track. I never realized there were so many options and alternatives for me. Due to my disability, I never thought I could or would be able to succeed if life. I didn’t even finish high school due to a poor self- concept. Now I have a professional career. Julianne gave me the confidence and emotional support I needed to make this dream a reality. Thank you for believing in me.

Julianne, you were there and believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. I had struggled with not being able to keep up with my peers all during my high school years. By the time we met I had given up and was willing to settle for any job I thought I could do. Then you suggested taking baby steps in trying to reach my goals. Now I have the job that I never dreamed I was able to do. You worked with me on and off for years through my failures and triumphs never tiring of my issues. You are one in a million Julieanne. Thank you for being who you are.

Julianne, you care, you work hard and you never stop until your clients’ goals have been reached. I have never felt heard by any therapist, life coach, friend or family member. Then someone referred me to you. Your input, hard work and dedication to helping me grow has changed my life. Words alone can never tell you how grateful I am for your never giving up on me. Thank you, Julianne.

Julianne, I’ve been working with you for quite a long time. When I resolve one problem, I find myself returning to you for yet another issue. I guess it’s because I feel safe with you. You have a way of making your clients feel you’re not just a life coach, you’re their friend. Thank you for never tiring of me and always being able to provide me with relevant, no-nonsense solutions.

There are a lot of professionals you can go to for guidance, but by far, you are one of the most compassionate, caring and non-judgmental human beings I’ve ever worked with. Though you made me do the difficult work to heal you also made me take a hard look at myself. You also propelled me to move forward. Thank you thank you, thank Julianne

Julianne, you are not just another life coach, you are a special kind of human being. We have been working together for a very long time and I keep coming back as I always need the positive and unbiased support you have always provided me. Don’t ever change. Thank you, Julianne

Julianne, thank you for being unbiased and able to discuss any and every issue. Your liberal, caring, understanding and non-judgmental approach to working with clients is astounding. You simply don’t judge. As you’ve said to me during our sessions, “I’ve been there” Thank you for providing a safe space. This is where transformation happens. This is where you connect with your deepest fears, hopes and aspirations.

My coach was always there to help me achieve my personal and academic goals. She was like a friend and held my hand all the way. Now, I’m at a place where I’m finally at peace with myself and the world around me. Thank you, Julianne. I couldn’t have done it without you.
M.D. Texas
I had so many reservations about going to anyone for help. I didn’t believe that anyone could know me better than I knew myself. Then I met Julianne. She offered me a whole new perspective on life. She helped me take a good look at myself, the world around me and what I might be doing to contribute to both my successes and failures. Wow! Right now, I’m doing great and don’t see where that will change anytime soon.

Thank you, Julianne. Your compassion, insight and ability to see all sides of an issue and be able to help your clients see the same is truly remarkable. Coming to life coaching was the best thing I ever did for myself. Thank you for allowing me to unapologetically who I really am and at the end of our journey liking myself better for it.
