Anger doesn’t make you broken. It makes you human. If you’re tired of being told to “calm down” when what you really need is to heal—you’re in the right place. I’m Julie Christiansen, Chief Therapist at Spa for the Soul and creator of the Anger Solutions program. I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in emotional cycles—especially anger, stress, and grief—learn how to feel, express, and resolve those emotions in ways that strengthen their relationships, not sabotage them.
Anger Solutions isn’t your average “anger management.” It’s a whole-person approach that teaches you to solve problems, communicate effectively, and feel emotionally safe—in your skin and your relationships. Trauma-informed. Faith- and culturally-sensitive. Grounded in real-life tools, and designed to help you master and express emotions—not suppress them.
Every problem is a relationship problem. Whether you're navigating a breakup, workplace tension, parenting struggles, or the long shadow of past trauma, we’ll work together to untangle the roots of your emotional pain and build practical, empowering solutions. I know that fit matters. That’s why I always offer a free consultation—no pressure, no strings.

I use EMDR, CBT, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These are all folded into Anger Solutions. My goal is to always work with your needs rather than trying to fit your needs into my therapy approaches. When we start, we will begin with "low-hanging fruit" - food, exercise & sleep. The deeper work will follow.
