Hi I’m Maring!

Registered Associate Marriage Family Therapist#145908

I am passionate about helping couples—especially neurodiverse couples—release emotional, physical, and relational blocks so they can feel more connection, safety, and joy in their lives.

So many of us grow up believing that our differences in how we think, feel, or communicate are flaws. Over time, those unspoken tensions can settle into our bodies and create patterns of disconnection. We may love each other deeply but still feel unseen, unheard, or misunderstood.

I believe every couple deserves the chance to find their own language of love and repair—one that honors their unique wiring and ways of being.

How my passion developed

As a child, I was deeply attuned to the unspoken dynamics in my family. I could feel the sadness and conflict in the room even when no one talked about it. That sensitivity carried into adulthood, where I found myself navigating both the beauty and the pain of intimate relationships.

I’ve walked through marriage, divorce, and the challenges of blending families.

I’ve also experienced the joys and struggles of parenting—including raising a neurodiverse child—and later learned that I myself have ADHD. These lived experiences humbled me and helped me understand the courage it takes to love, repair, and try again.

Along the way, I discovered teachers, therapists, and somatic practices that showed me how to move emotions through the body, rather than holding them in. This changed everything.

How I Help

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 17 years in private practice as an acupuncturist specializing in fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum support. Time and again, I witnessed how tuning into the body could create profound transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

That experience inspired me to pursue Marriage and Family Therapy with a focus on Bioenergetic Somatic Therapy. Today, I blend evidence-based couples work (EFT, Imago, Gottman, IFS) with somatic practices that help release what’s held in the body.

With neurodiverse couples, this often means slowing down, making space for both partners’ experiences, and creating practical strategies that honor different needs and communication styles. I don’t believe in quick fixes. I believe in building real tools for real relationships—tools that help couples repair, reconnect, and grow together.

My hope is that in this work, you not only find healing for yourself and your partnership, but also open the door to new possibilities for your children, families, and future generations.
