Many of the couples and families we support are struggling with common but painful dynamics: difficulty managing emotional intensity, trouble setting and respecting boundaries, and the challenge of truly listening to and hearing one another without judgment. These patterns can create disconnection, resentment, and hurt—but they are also deeply workable with the right tools and support. Our practice is holistic, honoring the mind-body connection and the inherent capacity for healing and reconnection. We are passionate about helping people rebuild trust, increase emotional awareness, and create stability. Many of the couples and families I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in frustrating patterns of disconnection. You may be experiencing frequent conflict, emotional distance, difficulty communicating, or feeling like you're repeating the same arguments without resolution. Often, there’s a shared sense of being unheard, unseen, or emotionally unsupported.

I was that person chosen for peer counseling at school and the friend people went to when they needed an ear. My own life experiences were challenging from the start and I felt an uncanny ability to empathize with different people. Over the years, a search for answers to my own suffering led me from science to mindfulness to psychology to working as a therapist. All while healing old and newfound chronic pains and illnesses. My experiences as a yoga practitioner & teacher, artist, painter, group leader and continuing educator have influenced my practice. I started Creative Healing 13 years ago and value providing a high level of client care. This is a safe, inclusive space for you to come and feel seen and heard. I believe we are interconnected, within our bodies, minds and amongst eachother. Your whole self is welcome. I also believe in referring to specialists and providing proper resources and suggestions to help complement our services.
