If you've ever thought, "Talking helps, but I feel like something is still missing," you might be in the right place.

I believe there are many ways to heal, and therapy doesn't have to look the same for everyone. Some days we'll talk. Other days we might notice what you're feeling in your body, take a walk, practice breathing, implement meditation or explore gentle movement. You never have to dance or move if you don't want to, it's simply another option for helping you process what words can't always express.

With more than 20 years of experience in dance, movement has always been an important part of my life. I love helping people reconnect with themselves, quiet the constant pressure to "have it all figured out," and discover what helps them feel grounded again.

I work with teens (14+), young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, or feeling stuck. I also have a deep commitment to supporting healthcare professionals, frontline workers, caregivers, and survivors of sexual assault.

There isn't one "right" way to do therapy. Together, we'll find an approach that fits you.

**If you’re curious to know more about what DMT is….

Dance/movement therapy (DMT) is the psychotherapeutic use of dance, movement, body awareness and embodied communication to promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical integration of an individual for the purpose of improving well-being. It is a holistic approach to connect the mind, body and spirit.
