Something brought you here – and it’s worth paying attention to. I’m Julie, a clinical therapist with over 30 years in the mental health field, specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and mood instability. I started as a case manager three decades ago, then went back for my masters in social work to deepen my capacity to help. My approach is humanistic and holistic – I treat mental health the same way I treat physical health, because all health is brain -based. I’m also a trained visual artist, and I integrate expressive arts and guided imagery into the work when it fits. My main expertise is working with individuals who have experienced trauma or abuse, but I also have experience treating depression, anxiety, and a variety of other mental health conditions. The goal is to learn new survival skills, and to thrive in this beautiful, but also very challenging world that we live in. For those wishing to go deeper, I enjoy working with clients who are faith based or spiritually seeking, and I find that much of what we teach in therapy is parallel to Faith based teachings. This creates a natural fit for many who find comfort in this kind of orientation.

I founded Chaos Therapy around a simple but radical idea: life is chaotic, the goal isn't to eliminate the chaos from our existence but to find order within it. My approach is integrative and intentionally anarchistic; there's no rigid script or one-size-fits most protocol. Our sessions are collaborative, adaptive, and real. I'm not your typical therapist, and that's by design. With over 20 years in social services, I've worked alongside people in some of the most demanding, complex, and often overlooked corners of human experience, in-patient and in-home therapy, homeless outreach, academic research, and private practice. That breadth isn't just my resume, it's shaped how I think about healing. If you've been told you're too much, too complicated, too sensitive, too far gone, then you are exactly who I built my practice for.

You will learn effective communication skills that work to deliver your message to others with no room for misunderstand. Moreover, by understanding yourself and gaining insight, you will be able to take the control over your life. You have the choice to change the direction of the course of your life.

It takes a great amount of courage to be able to acknowledge this and learn the tools to prioritize oneself. Let me help you pour and fill your cup first so you can be there for your loved ones. My goal as a clinician is to assist my clients to a point, they no longer need me, to be self-sufficient.

My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes. Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results.

I am a licensed therapist helping individuals navigate anxiety, relationships, and life transitions with clarity and confidence. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard, and I combine evidence-based practices with real-world understanding to support meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're feeling stuck or simply want to grow, I’m here to help you move forward. My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and a strong desire to help others feel seen, understood, and empowered. Through my own life experiences and academic journey, I witnessed the profound impact that compassionate, skilled support can have on a person’s healing and growth. I pursued formal training in Social Work, earning my degree from The University of Alabama, and completed extensive clinical experience in diverse settings—from community mental health to private practice. Along the way, I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and a deep appreciation for the unique stories each client brings into the room. Becoming a provider has been both a personal and professional calling. It’s a privilege to walk alongside clients on their journey, helping them navigate challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Navigating life between 11 and 25 can feel overwhelming. I specialize in supporting adolescents, teens, and young adults as they juggle school, family, identity, and the pressure to always be “the strong one.” My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to explain your background to be understood, a space that honors your story, culture, and values. I show up with empathy, honesty, and cultural understanding. I’m not here to “fix” you but to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what you’re carrying and creating room for reflection, healing, and growth. Whether you’re managing anxiety, family stress, identity questions, or just trying to feel like yourself again, I provide therapy that’s real, relevant, and safe. ***Please note: Appointments after 3pm CST are reserved for clients ages 11–18.
