About Julie
You don’t have to keep navigating this on your own.
Finding the right therapist matters. Therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as you begin making sense of what's been keeping you stuck.
I hope this page gives you a sense of who I am and what it might feel like to work together, because the relationship we build is one of the most important parts of the healing process.
Hi, I’m Julie
Julie Carr, BA, MA, RCC

I know how vulnerable it can feel to share the parts of yourself you've been holding together for so long. That's why my first priority is creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and safe enough to explore what's really going on beneath the surface.
My approach is always tailored to you because no two stories are the same. Together, we'll get curious about what's bringing you here - not with judgment or criticism, but with compassion and a genuine desire to understand. Many of the struggles we carry, like anxiety, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, aren't things we're born with. They're patterns we learn over time, shaped by past experiences, relationships, and the ways we've adapted to stay safe in a complicated world.
As we begin making sense of these patterns, I'll support you in building new ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach blends warmth, collaboration, and evidence-based therapies like EMDR, IFS, ACT, and AEDP, along with insights from mindfulness, somatic therapy, and attachment theory. Together, we'll find the approaches that best support your growth and healing.

The Person Behind The Therapist
I've always been fascinated by how our earliest relationships and experiences shape the stories we carry about ourselves. Growing up in a family that moved every few years meant I was constantly adapting to new places, cultures, and ways of life. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for how differently each of us experiences the world - and how our past shapes the way we see ourselves, others, and where we belong.
One of my favourite parts of being a therapist is witnessing the moment something finally clicks. It's the moment someone begins to understand themselves, and their story, with compassion instead of criticism, recognizing that many of the patterns they've developed once served an important purpose. From there, real healing can begin - not by erasing those parts, but by gently letting go of what no longer serves them and creating the freedom to choose a different path.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me traveling (especially anywhere with a beach), out surfing, chasing sunsets, dancing to live music, or catching up with friends over good food and big belly laughs.
Why the Name “Untangled Connections”
We're all shaped by the experiences, relationships, and stories we carry. Sometimes those connections become tangled, keeping us stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. That's where the name Untangled Connections comes from.
Healing rarely happens all at once. More often, it's one insight, one conversation, and one layer at a time. You don't have to have it all figured out - we'll untangle what's going on together.
