Julie is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Board Certified, Certified Pastoral Counselor, Certified Advanced ThetaHealing Practitioner, holds a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling. Julie is currently working on a Clinical Hypnotherapy Certification to add to her list of credentials. Julie counsels, guides, and teaches those who desire to improve their lives. She believes that we must develop a relationship with ourselves and know what we think and believe before we can truly be successful in relationships with others. This is accomplished through identity development, introduction of new ways of thinking and dealing with issues, and guidance in setting goals in order to live On Purpose. Firefly Children's Center is all about creative learning. Instead of showing children the "way to do something", children are encouraged to find multiple ways to do things. This creates resilience and the knowledge that if something doesn't work, we must try another way. I was previously a teacher in the public school system and found that the majority of what was taught was through presenting a lesson that had one correct answer; this is called convergent learning. Our teaching is through divergent learning; creatively coming up with as many answers as a child can. We can use the example of a child playing with a curved piece of wood as a toy; it can be a bridge, boat, cradle, car, basket, wood for a play fire, etc.; really anything the child can imagine it to be.
