Life happens in the present, but often we find ourselves trapped in painful patterns borne from the past or anxious about our every move. When trauma, big or small, anxiety, or depression remains unresolved, we age but struggle to grow. At Creative Now Therapy, we foster growth by grounding you in the present and using your experiences, wounds, beliefs, and patterns to enhance your ability to tune into your body to begin to heal yourself. Your body’s wisdom is your greatest resource in truly understanding your experience. Let's turn on lights in those dark rooms and corners, so you can make choices to support your best self.
In-Person Office in the Hudson Valley.
With 16+ years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in guiding clients using somatic, mindful, and directive interventions. By feeling into our bodies using the present moment, I will help you develop awareness, insight, and coping skills to create change. Talking is important, but we need to experience our way through our pain to promote healing.
Creative Now Therapy features online and in-person therapy with women, femmes, gender non-conforming/binary, and trans folks aged 25 years and up. I'm here with you, and I'm here to help you be with You.

Our feelings & sensations provide us with potent information that we often ignore or avoid because they were possibly too dangerous to feel in our early experiences. Creative Now Therapy can help you connect with yourself so you can access your innate wisdom to better understand yourself and make different choices to move you closer to the life you want.

The blending of Somatic, Gestalt, & Creative arts therapy generates a dynamic, holistic, and experiential therapy that focuses on your present moment experience & encourages our natural movement toward creativity, spontaneity, & growth. Sometimes "thinking" or "talking" about problems is not enough, & a deeper level of experience & creativity is needed to get to the heart of a difficult situation.
