Dance / Movement Therapy
Dance-movement therapy (DMT) is a therapeutic practice that uses movement and dance as a way to approach physical, emotional or social issues. Founded on the belief that there is a strong correlation between movement and emotion, therapists practicing DMT use the expressive nature of dance to observe, analyze and evaluate the client. DMT can help to improve a wide range of issues including stress, self-esteem and body image and can be especially helpful for individual’s with developmental or communication problems.

I incorporate QiGong, a Chinese medical-spiritual practice based on Traditional Chinese Medicine to help clients experience connection with their body in a non-performative, attuned way. Evidence based studies show that Qigong has been successful in alleviating symptoms of PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. QiGong is a gateway to enhancing awareness, mindfulness, and self-regulation. QiGong is in alignment with Polyvagal practice.

I use Authentic Movement as a therapeutic modality for clients interested in working somatically with their subconscious, and couples interested in learning embodied communication skills. I earned my Masters Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy, and while not all of my clients want to move as a part of their sessions, for those who are more physically and experientially inclined - I've got you!
