I am a Registered Dance/ Movement Therapist through the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA).
My philosophy derives from the holistic, humanistic, positive psychology approach that integrates the emotional, social, and physical state of individuals through movement and art. I wish to advocate for equity in my work through supporting individuals in ways that are imaginative, strengths based, and developmentally appropriate; while also being open-minded, inclusive and considerate of experiences and other cultures.

I also have 20 years of experience teaching yoga, non-linear movement, and music for healing.
Each of us needs to be met where we are before we can grow into who we want to be. I journey together alongside my clients in this therapeutic process. I am trauma-informed and use Hakomi, a body-based approach, along with IFS/parts work and other modalities in my sessions. Creativity is also an essential part of my approach so we can explore what works best for you. I strive to create a space for you to feel seen, heard, and held. A space for you to do the necessary to move towards the life you want. It takes courage to step into this work, and I am here to honor that.

My focus is Somatic Internal Family Systems and Hakomi, though I also draw from other practices from somatic psychology, dance/ movement therapy, neuroscience, and their lineages that have grown out of mind-body traditions from around the world.

Together we can co-create a brave and curious space for you to ground into what matters most to you. I work to hold a space that centers your dignity and wholeness, inviting in the wisdom of your body, your mind, your life story, the earth, your ancestry, and your cultures of origin.

I believe that each of us has an innate capacity to grow and heal. Sometimes, through difficult experiences and life transitions, we forget that healing and wholeness are always available to us. Therapy is a place where we can compassionately find ourselves again through expression and acceptance of all of our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. And as we begin to heal, our perspective of ourselves and others shift in ways that facilitate long-term and lasting changes.

Dance Movement Therapy
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.
