As you come into therapy with the desire to change, I know how difficult it can be. I will hold the space as a compassionate guide for you to rest into your own self-reflection and we will collaborate to help you find your authentic path to healing and wholeness. My approach is based on creating genuine interpersonal connection and cultivating mind/body/soul awareness as a way to come into more alignment with your true self. From this place, you will find more freedom of choice, feeling of purpose and sense of agency in your life.

I have been working as a counselor and Dance/Movement Therapist for the past eighteen years. For the first part of my career, I worked in social service agencies and hospitals serving seniors, adults and adolescents with issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, developmental disabilities and brain injuries. I have worked (and danced) with individuals from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds and have been shaped and changed for the better in doing so. As I have been in private practice for the last four years, I especially love working with creative beings, empaths and anyone who feels misunderstood.

I use an integrated approach, influenced by my training in and experience with: somatic psychotherapy, current attachment theory, trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting and mindfulness practices.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist (BC-DMT) and a Certified Graduate-Level Movement Analyst (GL-CMA). I know those are a lot of acronyms(!) I also have extensive training in the practice and facilitation of Authentic Movement, an embodied mindfulness practice. I have trained extensively with Zoe Avstreih, one of the pioneers of developing the form.
