I’m Julie.

I’m a music therapist and website designer.

Designing websites is my jam.

I get excited about creating a strong, engaging online presence and helping you grow your business. I’ve designed websites for over 20 years (before Google and YouTube were even a thing!!), and I’ve worked for individuals, small businesses, non-profits, and professional organizations. I create and design beautiful, functional, and user-friendly websites — all with an eye on strategy.

I love working with music therapists.

I enjoy working with amazing and creative music therapists who are dedicated, passionate, and enthusiastic about the field of music therapy. I’ve been a board-certified music therapist since 2003. I understand you and your career, because I am a music therapist, too.

I’m passionate and dedicated.

I love teaching that having a strong online presence is a requirement for business success. I teach online workshops, as well as in-person workshops, conferences, and CMTEs on a state, regional, and national level. Want to have me lead a workshop/session/CMTE? Contact me here.
