Meet Dr. Julie Monday

As a child psychologist and former kindergarten teacher, I bring a unique blend of hands-on experience and psychological expertise to my work with parents. My approach is attachment-focused, recognizing the deep impact of secure emotional connections on a child’s development. I integrate brain-based strategies to help parents understand how their child’s brain develops, how emotions are processed, and how to respond in ways that nurture both emotional resilience and healthy attachment. This combination allows me to guide parents in creating a calm, connected, and supportive environment that fosters emotional well-being and growth in children.
