Sexual Addiction Therapy
Formally trained by Patrick Carnes, Julie is a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist, certified by
the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals.
Julie has served on the certifying committee to certify Christian Sexual Addiction Specialists.
Spouses of Sexual Addicts
Julie sees spouses of sex addicts individually, in groups, and in marriage therapy. Julie named the spouses groups S.A.R.A.H. (Sexual Addiction Relational Awareness and Healing). When contemplating what to call the groups, she wanted something indicative of the struggle many spouses face, the fear of feeling out of control and wanting to fix it. It reminded her of Abraham's wife, Sarah in the bible, and how she proceeded to "help God out in fulfilling the promise of a son," and the heartache that came as a result of doing it her way rather than God's. Yet God loved Sarah and did keep His promise and the result of His way and His timing was blessings instead of anguish.
Sexual Abuse
- Facilitates therapy groups for adult victims of sexual abuse
- Facilitates closed groups where all members were specifically victims of incest.
Sexual Purity Issues
Part of Julie's heart's desire as she witnesses a sexually invasive society
and its damage on lives is for singles not to fall prey to the same
deception in which many of her clients live the consequences. Sex within
God's design differs vastly from what the media or movies portray. Real
intimacy that is fulfilling emotionally, spiritually, and physically is what
she counsels towards.
