About Julie


I have been a social worker at heart since childhood and have worked in the field of behavioral health for over 20 years.  I am passionate about helping others and that has been the focus of my life.  I feel fortunate to be a part of the personal growth, renewal and emotional healing in my clients through Mariposa Counseling, LLC.

 I received my Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science from Western International University in May 2000 and earned my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University in May 2003.  I am independently licensed by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.

I was raised in Arizona and have called Tucson my home since 2000.  I live with my wonderful husband and two English Springer Spaniels.
