Practice Overview
Welcome to Holistic Family Healing where we specialize in providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children, teenagers, and adults to thrive. Here, families and individuals focus on managing stress, anxiety, and behavioral issues through expressive arts, talk therapy, and play therapy techniques. I strongly believe in the importance of family involvement and offer a unique online platform that enables parents to actively participate in their child's therapeutic journey while tracking their progress.
You are not alone
At Holistic Family Healing, our mission is to empower individuals and support them in overcoming challenges related to mental health and emotional well-being. Through creative compassionate therapy sessions, I aim to instill coping mechanisms, build resilience, and foster positive behavioral patterns. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where you can freely express yourself and work towards holistic growth.
I accept individual clients ages 3 and up.

Quality Services, Ethics, and Accessibility
Holistic Family Healing services are designed to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. I prioritize accessibility and ensure that every client receives the resources they need and following the American Counseling Association's Code of Ethics.
The mission of the American Counseling Association is to enhance the quality of life in society by promoting the development of professional counselors, advancing the counseling profession, and using the profession and practice of counseling to promote respect for human dignity and diversity.
In addition to ethical obligations like maintaining confidentiality and avoiding harm, counselors must adhere to their scope of practice. This means I must only provide services for which I have the necessary education, training, and experience. If a client's needs fall outside my scope of practice, I have an ethical responsibility to refer them to a more appropriate professional. If I cannot offer you services, referrals will be provided in your area.
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and that they can contribute to the web. This also means that those with disabilities can access the same information and functionality as those without disabilities.
I recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. I will continue to evaluate and improve this website to ensure a positive experience for all users. I value feedback and encourage users to share any accessibility issues they encounter.
