Are you ready to begin or continue your therapeutic journey and engage consistently in the work? If you are curious or open to incorporating dance/movement and mindfulness based practices into your therapeutic space, welcome! Clients I work best are experiencing worry, sadness, emotional discomfort and are open to explore additional ways to express, soothe, calm, and understand what is coming up for them.
Specialties
As a Board Certified Dance/movement Therapist, I've obtained the highest national certification achievable by the American Dance Therapy Association professional organization. As such, I approach the work from the lens' of psychotherapy and exploring how the mind and body can work together in the space. I have extensive training working with individuals managing depression, anxiety, relational trauma, and self-esteem concerns through the use of dance/movement therapy.
I incorporate the use of mindfulness based strategies such as meditation, guided visualizations, and mindful movement experiences into my sessions. I've attended numerous continuing education courses and consultation groups focusing on the use of mindfulness based approaches to therapy.
Specialties
Understanding why you are constantly worrying and preparing for worst case scenario is not a simple process. This process requires the mind, body, and emotions to work together. I have extensive experience working with individuals to shift their understanding and relationship with anxiety. I offer a space where exploring and resourcing happens in multiple ways offering a holistic approach of addressing anxiety symptoms.
Being able to understand and trust oneself is key to feeling confident. Through dance/movement therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, there will be space to strengthen this inner relationship. You will explore how to build the relationship with non-judgment, kindness, and love. We will explore how to make this a strong foundation as life will bring novel and unexpected situations. Therefore, if you do temporarily lose trust in yourself you have skills to kindly return back again and again.
