Morning Glory Center for Creative Healing is literally a dream come true. In 2001, dear friends who were also Mental Health professionals and I started dreaming of the ideal practice. We wanted a warm welcoming place where clients could find the freedom and safety to heal, grow and deepen. We are located in a beautiful old two-story house replete with tea in the kitchen and a therapy dog and bunny. The creative healing part of our name refers to the use of writing, visual art and movement as part of the therapeutic process. We also do traditional psychotherapy with individuals, couples and families. We also have a Pilates Studio.

I enjoy working with clients who are looking to add some structure to the chaos and focus more on what matters now. People who have trauma that is hard to discuss, or is just confusing to make sense of, have a space with me. Most often, the clients I see are Women who have tried their best to balance health, family, work, communication, and self care but find that they are still drained and at a loss for what to do about their mental health concerns. This is usually due to unresolved trauma that can be hard to process alone and EMDR or talk therapy can help.
