Welcome!

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I believe that healing from trauma is not only possible—it’s transformative. Taking the first step to seek help is often the hardest, so I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to be here. While I’ve been practicing for over 12 years, my focus has been working with young and middle aged adults, especially those navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Hi, I am Julia.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is a lot like finding the right pair of jeans- it might take trying a few before you find the one that feels right. When you do, you feel comfortable, supported and like you can finally be yourself. I believe therapy should feel that way too.

I believe that therapy provides a safe space and genuine connection for individuals to heal and grow.

Life can feel overwhelming ad carrying everything on your own can be exhausting. Finding a place where you can be vulnerable, share your story and be yourself isn't easy. My hope is to provide a space where you feel safe, accepted and genuinely heard- a relationship built on connection, compassion and belonging. Together, we will create an environment where you can explore life's challenges, discover your strengths and move toward healing with support every step of the way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges and life transitions. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices including CBT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness.

When you've spent so much time trying to hold everything together, it's easy to lose sight of who you are beneath the anxiety, painful experiences, or expectations placed on you by others. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, questions about identity, or simply feeling emotionally exhausted, you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment. Meaningful healing is possible, and you don't have to go through it alone. I partner with clients experiencing anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, women's issues, trauma, and PTSD so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I work with adolescents, adults, and children because every person deserves to feel accepted, understood, and empowered.

Clients should know that I’m a real person first and a therapist second. I actually started my career in sports management, but life had other plans — and a series of lived experiences pulled me toward social work in a way that felt impossible to ignore. I went on to complete my MSW at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN, and I’ve spent the last ten years working in child protection, community health, and hospital social work in a Level 1 trauma facility.

I also spent years as a caregiver, which made me especially comfortable working with older adults and taught me that humor, patience, and a good cup of coffee can get you through almost anything. I’m nearing completion of my PST therapy certification, which adds a structured, problem‐solving lens to the work we do.

I take therapy seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously — so you can expect warmth, honesty, and the occasional well‐timed laugh when life hands us something so absurd it deserves one.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fort Wayne

Finding postpartum therapists in Fort Wayne starts with looking for care that matches your specific postpartum needs. Postpartum support can include counseling for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain after a new baby. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or working with new parents. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

In Fort Wayne, a local therapist may be a good fit if you prefer in-person sessions or want care close to home. Virtual appointments can also expand your options, especially when your schedule changes often, infant care affects timing, or physical recovery makes travel harder. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their style, the concerns they work with most often, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before you book. Headway helps you search postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified. You can compare therapists, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
