My training consists of PACT: Stan Tatkin; EFT: Sue Johnson; The Couple's Institute: Ellyn Bader & Peter Pearson; Authentic Movement: Zoe Avstreih & Eleni Levidi.
I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive! In couples work, we better our skills in communication, vulnerability and emotional regulation...the result: more empathy, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and resiliency during painful anger, conflict and difference. It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

These could include art therapy, dream work, movement, mindfulness, observation of symbolic processes or reminiscing.
Are you struggling with something? You might feel like life isn’t as vibrant as it once was, or relationships are fraught with conflict. It can be difficult to get out of these places in life on our own. You might feel like it’s best to tough it out or figure it out alone, but you don’t have to. Most of my clients struggle with depression and trauma which causes their lives to feel less like places of their own creation and more like somewhere they just ended up. I welcome clients of all backgrounds who are seeking agency and meaning.

I offer an individually tailored approach that integrates techniques consistent with Somatic Psychotherapy including: Dance/Movement Therapy, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, AEDP, Internal Family Systems and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.
It's hard to ask for help, and talking can only get us so far. Our bodies carry memories, feelings, and experiences that don't always make sense or that we are unable to express through words. Stress and overwhelm is literally stored in the body in the form of pain, tension, numbness, and dissociation. By giving our body a voice we can reshape our nervous system through self awareness and skill building for greater ease in connection with ourselves and others.

I help people create lasting change, by weaving Internal Family Systems, trauma therapies EMDR and Brainspotting, body-centered and mindfulness skills, Creative/Expressive Arts, Dance Therapy and Neoshamanic practices, during sessions to facilitate healing and integration.
As a seasoned psychotherapist/life coach, I believe in our innate healing potential and guide my clients to unlock their internal wisdom, resilience and resources for healing. Somatic (body-centered), mindfulness-based approaches to holistic coaching and therapy, allow me to integrate my clinical training while tuning into intuition to effectively guide the unfolding healing process of my clients. Trauma-informed, holistic coaching and therapy allows for greater capacity to rewire the brain, which can make the unconscious conscious and shift your automatic reactive patterns and outdated beliefs, helping you to live your best life.

There are many struggles we face in life and sometimes we don’t feel properly equipped. Issues with money, food, relationships, trust, sex, body, self-esteem… come up and sometimes we get stuck using very well-intended safety strategies that no longer work. Whatever struggles you are facing, we can work together to identify how they came to be, why they are important, and what you need to transcend them. This process is invaluable, profound and deeply fulfilling. My focus is support you to do the work of staying with the process, being aware when you need to pull back or move in and encourage your continued commitment to yourself.

Reaching out can be insanely difficult and vulnerable at times, I get it. Come in, have some tea, see if the connection feels right for you.

I offer somatic psychotherapy, energetic, and intuitive support for working through trauma, recovering a sense of aliveness, and connecting with the wisdom that naturally moves through each of us. Our sessions often start by coming into connection, safety and regulation in the moment. Often times, the symptoms and issues we experience are rooted in dysregulation in our nervous systems. Our time is rooted in expanding resource, a sense of well being in the moment, so that more difficult material can begin to integrate.

What can I expect from dance/movement therapy?
During dance therapy, the therapist will guide the client through dance movements that metaphorically represent a particular challenge, reflect their internal emotional state, or otherwise express physically what is happening for the client mentally. The therapist may “mirror” the client’s movements or simply observe. The client may be encouraged, as they dance, to pay attention to their breath or other physical sensations. Afterward, the therapist and client will often debrief to help the client process the experience.
Is dance/movement therapy evidence-based?
A small body of research has found that dance therapy can help treat conditions like depression, PTSD, anxiety, and eating disorders, as well as nonclinical issues like low self-esteem or family conflict. However, some experts caution that the evidence in favor of dance therapy is not as robust as that of other, more established therapies, and some of the published research is of low quality. Many recommend that dance therapy be used as a complementary rather than stand-alone treatment.
Can dance therapy help with depression?
Some research suggests that dance/movement therapy can aid in the treatment of depression, especially when combined with other therapies; some studies, for example, report that dance therapy combined with antidepressants or talk therapy is more effective than those treatments alone. The positive effects of dance therapy may come from the movement itself, as it’s well-known that physical activity can improve mood and bolster motivation in those struggling with depression.
What are the limitations of dance therapy?
People with disabilities or other conditions that hinder movement may find it more challenging to participate in dance therapy, though a well-trained therapist will take a client’s physical limitations into account when designing a treatment plan. Experts also warn that certain conditions, particularly eating disorders, should never be treated with dance therapy alone; it may, however, be used as an adjunct therapy.
