Dance Movement Therapy in Clayton, NC

Do you feel dissatisfied with life? Are you struggling with finding purpose? Maybe you notice that you tend to care for others before you care for yourself. You could have a hard time saying “no” or even feel guilty afterwards. These predicaments can stem from not intentionally and holistically honoring our being; mind, body, and spirit. Discipline and consistency, as values of self-care, can be incredibly difficult to implement in a world that’s fast-paced and focused on instant gratification. From racial disparities to social injustice, society forces us to adapt to inequity; how are you caring for you?

Are you ready to unmask your true self by breaking free from hidden struggles? Are you ready to embrace authentic living by conquering emotional barriers? And are you ready to unlock your strengths to transform your future? If "YES", you're on the right page! My clients struggle with identifying their emotions, expressing themselves authentically, and uncovering their strengths. Through therapy, we work on identifying mental & emotional barriers stemming from your childhood or past experiences so you're equipped with skills to authentically speak about your experiences, feel your emotions, and create an action plan for your future.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

Maybe you are a go getter who has a good life but wants a great life. A person who pours out their time to everyone else but leaves little time for yourself. An individual that looks okay on the outside but is crippled by anxiety and panic on the inside. A millennial who gets on social media and immediately feels like you have to be more or do more to keep up. A perfectionist that worries and overthinks everything, I mean everything. Any of that sound true for you? I get it. Its easy to tie it all together and look perfect on the on the outside but feel far from perfect on the inside. It’s time for a change.
