I specialize in working with clients who are motived, courageous, and open to exploring their inner world. My goal is to help others achieve their goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral and strengths based therapies. Even if clients are not quite sure what that looks like. I help clients by navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Most people are overwhelmed by pressure. What they tend to want most is clarity, peace, and to feel more connected. They're seeking safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts freely and begin to moe toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.

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.

As a trauma-informed counselor with 28 years of experience in education, (which includes my serving the past 15 years as a school counselor), I understand the impact adverse childhood experiences have on students' academic achievement and relationships with others. Using compassion and understanding, I love helping clients to navigate the challenges they encounter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Trust Based Relationship Interventions can help us develop goals and strategies for better managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, or family changes that may impact their self regulation, academic achievement, and relationships with others. Supporting children, teens, adults and grandparents who are raising grandchildren, is a privilege. My approach blends clinical expertise with a biblical perspective. I try to bring both my professional and personal understanding, from my experiences as a mother, grandmother, and former school counselor as I listen to and work with clients in a safe space. My goal is to build trust and connection with each client. I would love to help you identify your counseling goals. Please call and leave a message. I will return your call as soon as possible. I am passionate about creating a space where my clients don't just survive hard things -but grow through them while feeling seen, safe and supported.

Whether you're struggling with focus and follow-through, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling trapped in the same relationship cycles, therapy can help you better understand what is driving those patterns. Together, we'll explore how your emotions, life experiences, and nervous system responses influence the way you think, cope, and connect with others.

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.

Welcome! My name is Katherine. I am 66 yrs old. I am married to my best friend who I have been with for about a decade. I have 2 biologic children I raised mainly as a single mom, and some non-biological children who adopted me along the way. I am a survivor of child abuse and a very aggressive blood cancer. I read a lot. I write a little. I use some Chinese and Native American wellness techniques for myself and sometimes suggest them to clients. I dabble in several things I am not very good at but enjoy. I love hiking and the outdoors and almost anything to do with biology or culture. My friends tell me I am very compassionate - which I think comes from working through your own trauma. I have been a independent licensed clinical social worker for 40 yrs, and I have supervised and trained quite a few therapists and other health/mental health providers. I have a 2nd masters degree and over 10 yrs experience in nursing. I have had some unusual opportunities compared to my friends and collegues - observing civil rights trainings as a child, living with political refugees as a teen, teaching and travelling abroad - I spent 3 yrs in my 50s living in North Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer. I have a special affinity for veterans and other trauma survivors. I recently retired from nursing but keep a small online therapy practice with my first and deepest career love of psychiatric social work.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’ve spent years feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns. You may be carrying the effects of trauma, chronic stress, people-pleasing, or narcissistic abuse while trying to hold everything together on the outside. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and healing is possible. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, relationship wounds, and the lasting impact of narcissistic or emotionally abusive partner or parent/childhood relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode — constantly overthinking, walking on eggshells, questioning themselves, or feeling emotionally drained. Together, we work to help you feel safer in your body, more confident in your boundaries, and more connected to who you truly are. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and understood without judgment. I believe therapy should feel supportive and empowering, not clinical or cold. I integrate evidence-based approaches while also focusing deeply on emotional safety, self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you are recovering from trauma, navigating difficult partner relationships, struggling with anxiety, or trying to rebuild your sense of self after emotional abuse, therapy can help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace. You do not have to continue carrying this alone. Reaching out for help takes courage. If you’re ready to begin healing and creating healthier patterns, I’d be honored to support you.

I am a licensed counselor, certified health and wellness coach, and Mental Health First Aid instructor. I primarily work with adolescents and adults who are navigating life changes, emotional stress, and questions about identity or purpose. My approach is simple: I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward your goals. I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and empowering. I use talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help you better understand your thoughts, manage strong emotions, and build healthier patterns. With younger clients, I also incorporate play therapy techniques and work closely with families when helpful. My goal is to help you feel more confident in your abilities and more proactive in facing life’s challenges.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
