You’ve been holding everything together for so long that you barely notice how exhausted you are anymore.

Therapy and gentle support for anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, depression, ADHD, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long.

You do not have to wait until everything falls apart to deserve support.

Whether your mind never fully slows down, you feel emotionally worn thin, or you’re simply tired in a way rest hasn’t fixed—this can be a place to exhale.

Together, we move gently.

Now accepting new clients in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, & Oregon

Hi, I’m Julia. I help overwhelmed women who are tired of holding everything together alone.

Maybe your mind never fully turns off.
Maybe you look functional on the outside but feel emotionally exhausted underneath it all.
Maybe you’ve gotten so used to pushing through that you barely notice how much you’re carrying anymore.

My work is a place to put some of that weight down.
A place to untangle anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, depression, ADHD, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from being the one who keeps going.

You might recognize yourself here.

Women often begin therapy with me when they’re experiencing:

  • A mind that never fully stops scanning

  • Feeling responsible for everyone and exhausted by it

  • Depression that feels heavy but invisible

  • ADHD, overwhelm, or constantly feeling behind

  • A quiet sense of “I shouldn’t feel this tired… but I do.”

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin. You just need a place that feels steady.

What I Offer

This is a space that affirms and welcomes all parts of you. I’m committed to practicing care that is:

  • Neurodiversity-allied

  • LGBTQIA-allied

  • Racial justice–allied

  • Body positive & HAES-informed

Support that fits real life.

  • Therapy – One-on-one sessions focused on emotional regulation, overwhelm, depression, anxiety, ADHD, transitions, identity, infertility, and more

  • Digital Resources – Self-paced toolkits and courses for moments when you need something now

  • Free Tools & Quizzes – For when you’re not sure what you need, but know you need something

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve care.
You just have to be ready for something a little more supportive.

For the days when you’re functioning… but barely.
