Welcome! As a dance/movement therapist, I offer a strength-based, creative and embodied approach. Clients are often drawn to this work because they want to feel more at home in their bodies, use creativity as a healing resource, and move more effectively towards their goals. I support clients in their courageous work with kindness, empathy and an unwavering sense of hope.
My work is grounded in current research and best practices in mind-body counselling, positive psychology, dance therapy and performance psychology. In therapy, we focus on goals that are meaningful to you and on developing resources and skills to help you heal, adapt and flourish. We may use a range of tools including music, props, drawing and narratives.
Please feel free to send me an email if you would like more information or would like to book a session.
