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.

I know that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming. You may be feeling stuck, exhausted, unsure of what you need, or simply tired of carrying things on your own. My goal is to offer a space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported as you begin to make sense of what you are going through.
I bring many years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through a wide range of life challenges, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationship/family conflict, concurrent disorders, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD and personality disorders.

Life is messy and you may be feeling like you have lost what brings you happiness, or you aren't sure how to meet your own needs anymore. You may feel lonely and like you have no one to talk to about your inner experience which isn't matching the you the world sees. You don’t have to struggle alone. I will meet you where you are at and we will work together to create a plan that meets your unique needs. You are capable of learning new ways of coping with the right support. Together we will take steps toward living a fuller, more emotionally healthy life.

Stuck in survival mode? It sucks but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Living in fight, flight, or freeze mode drains your energy, hijacks your relationships, and makes therapy feel like a never-ending cycle. That’s not your fault, but it also doesn’t have to be your future. Trauma doesn’t get to run the show forever. EMDR is a proven, research-backed approach that goes straight to the root of the pain instead of dancing around it. My work is about cutting through all the noise, helping your brain process what happened, and finally getting you out of survival mode so that you may actually start living.
