Are you struggling with substances but feel “rehab” isn’t right for you? You don’t need to leave your job or family for a month to find the help you need. Addiction is tough: that compulsion to go back and do the same thing over and over, even though you know it's destroying your life... You feel fear, anxiety, failure, worthlessness, humiliation, contempt... You've tried to break the 'habit', get your control back, but just when you start feeling some success you stumble, and you're back in the same hole again. Breaking your substance abuse alone is not as simple as it sounds. Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab.

Sometimes we all find ourselves feeling stuck or struggling in some way. Feelings of anxiety, depression, overwhelm or burnout are part of the human experience. For some people, it's a season of life or life circumstance or perhaps something that's been persisting for some time. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean you have to walk the path alone. As a therapist, my goal is to help clients find their way back to a healthier, thriving and content space.

Do you feel depressed and anxious much of the time? Do you feel drained and angry? Do the people who mean the most to you in the world often get the worst of you? Let me help you reconnect in a way that restores your emotions and the misery of broken relationships. I specialize in conflicted relationships, depression, anxiety, all forms of trauma as well as adult children of abuse or neglect. I have combined years as a Christian counselor with experience working with military families and individuals. I specialize in trauma with a focus on EMDR as a standard of care for most traumas.

Are you feeling stuck and looking for a place to unpack some painful memories from the past? You've been trying to make sense of how people so close to you could cause you so much pain. As you've gotten older, navigated relationships, or have had children of your own, you have really been struggling to feel confident, truly connected to others, and whole. I'm Julia. I help those working through generational (complex) trauma alleviate their anxiety, change patterns of perfectionism, people pleasing, and codependency and connect deeply with those they love. I'm here to help you make sense of your experience and embrace yourself fully.

There are times in our lives when nothing seems to be going right or you know could be better. You feel stuck or find yourself spiraling in negative or unhelpful thoughts. If this sounds like you, I’d love to connect. I offer therapy to people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and difficult life transitions. Therapy with me means taking the time to get to know you and working together to come up with the right tools to help you start feeling better.

If you're feeling anxious, nervous, restless, or worried, or struggling with low mood, trouble concentrating, or sleeping, I want you to know that I'm here to help. These feelings are more common than you might think, and there's no shame in reaching out for support.
