Fortino Shurtliff, Julie
MA, LPC
COUNSELOR
Biography
As a counselor, I believe that change happens when people are given the support they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling happy lives. I understand that our past has influenced our present but it need not dictate our future. Our life experiences, positive or negative, are building blocks for who we are today and can be effective tolls in creating who we aspire to be tomorrow. My main focus as a counselor is to create a safe space for you to explore your feelings and create coping skills to face life's challenges.
