testimoninal 5Julie works with any family member or partner of someone with bipolar disorder. She offers practical support and easy to use tools that will help you understand and manage the variety of difficult situations that arise as a result of the illness and then help you create a plan that can keep your relationships stable. Julie specializes in:

  • Partners or spouses of someone with bipolar disorder
  • Parents of teenagers with bipolar disorder
  • Those with a loved one newly diagnosed, or who refuses to get help
  • Those with a loved one in the hospital or in jail because of the illness
  • Those who are concerned about cannabis use in people with bipolar

testimoninal 6Though Julie works with all family members and partners, she is especially committed to helping those in crisis. She knows from her own personal experience what it is like to have a loved one newly diagnosed and hospitalized and how difficult it is to find needed help from someone who understands and has been through the experience.

Whether you have a partner in the hospital, a once vibrant and studious child who has suddenly become manic, or if you are simply worried that your relationship is deteriorating, it helps having a professional coach who has been there and who has the knowledge and tools to make things right again.
