at Royal Oak Hope Counseling L.L.C.
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” - Timothy Keller
Clinical Mental Health Counselor
About Julia
I’m grateful to introduce myself as the owner and therapist at Royal Oak Hope Counseling L.L.C. I’m passionate about journeying alongside my clients through life’s twists and turns, whether they’re navigating through the messiness of challenging situations, healing old wounds, or simply facing the ups and downs of everyday life.
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary, a CACREP-accredited program that integrates sound clinical training with a holistic view of healing and faith. Before that, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business and Communication at Hope College, where I first developed a deep interest in how people connect, communicate, and change.
At ROH Counseling, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. My approach centers around fostering healthy relationships and empowering individuals to cultivate strong connections in their marriages, friendships, and families. I work with adults and adolescents 12+, tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s unique needs and goals.
Whether you’re coming in with a clear goal or just a sense that something in life feels heavy or off, we’ll move at your pace. My hope is that you leave each session feeling a little more grounded, a little more understood, and more connected to the person you’re becoming.
It’s a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support others in their healing and growth journeys.
I would be honored to walk alongside you.
Testimonials
Amazing listener, asks great questions to get background and better understand you, very professional but doesn’t feel like you can’t joke around as well as very friendly. I could tell she was genuinely interested in helping and truly cared and understood me along with helping me understand myself.

My friends and my girlfriend have seen a therapist before, it went alright… but I genuinley feel like my sessions with Julia helped me. It was a good fit.

I’ve seen therapists a few times before… but I never really felt like it did anything for me. This time was different because I actually felt like I was talking with someone who truly cared about me.
