Licensed speech pathologist offering personalized service to children and families across the Wilmington, NC area.

Julie has a bachelor’s degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and a master’s degree from UNC-Greensboro. She is a North Carolina licensed speech-language pathologist and is certified by the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Julie is a mother to two adult boys and to two golden retrievers. She and her husband, Hoke, have called Wilmington home for 22 years.

Julie has experience in a variety of settings including hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, elementary schools and a large private practice. She opened her own practice in 2014 and loves spending her days with children. Julie specializes in pediatrics with experience treating children with receptive and expressive language delays, fluency disorders (stuttering), phonological disorders, apraxia, autism, articulation, intellectual disabilities, cleft lip and palate, cerebral palsy, genetic disorders and developmental delays.

Julie believes in treating the whole child, so she invests in trainings in not only speech and language, but in sensory processing, the development of play and the parent coaching model for early intervention. She believes collaboration is in the best interest of the child and works with parents, teachers, babysitters, psychologists, occupational and physical therapists to coordinate care to ensure the best outcome for the child.
