I am an animal-assisted, nature-based therapist who specializes in helping children and adults express their most authentic, empowered Self through mindfulness, movement and playful connection. I've seen clients create ease and familiarity within their own body and truly heal from trauma by rewriting old stories. I love to support women who feel stressed, overwhelmed, burnt out or not good enough. Together we can clarify, name and claim your natural wants and needs while learning to set clear, organic boundaries and cultivate the skills necessary to create inspiring relationships with family, friends, lovers, colleagues and Self.

I aim to meet clients where they are and bring a greater awareness to supports through a reconnection to the body, sensation, feeling, play, movement, and breath.
I provide mental health care to a variety of individuals from children to adults with a focus on grief, loss, and working through life changes/challenges. My practice is person-centered, so the counselor (Michelle) follows the client (you). I may come to session with ideas for interventions or questions in mind, but these sessions are for you. I follow what you would like to use your sessions for, and work with you to create therapeutic goals. We may work on building coping skills, increasing self-esteem, or adapting to changes.

I offer an individually tailored approach that integrates techniques consistent with Somatic Psychotherapy including: Dance/Movement Therapy, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, AEDP, Internal Family Systems and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.
It's hard to ask for help, and talking can only get us so far. Our bodies carry memories, feelings, and experiences that don't always make sense or that we are unable to express through words. Stress and overwhelm is literally stored in the body in the form of pain, tension, numbness, and dissociation. By giving our body a voice we can reshape our nervous system through self awareness and skill building for greater ease in connection with ourselves and others.

Are you struggling with something? You might feel like life isn’t as vibrant as it once was, or relationships are fraught with conflict. It can be difficult to get out of these places in life on our own. You might feel like it’s best to tough it out or figure it out alone, but you don’t have to. Most of my clients struggle with depression and trauma which causes their lives to feel less like places of their own creation and more like somewhere they just ended up.

I love working with couples! A flourishing relationship gives us access to a more fulfilled life. When we feel seen, understood and supported...we thrive! In couples work, we better our skills in communication, vulnerability and emotional regulation...the result: more empathy, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and resiliency during painful anger, conflict and difference. It is my sole purpose to help individuals cultivate meaningful connection and trust within themselves and their partners. Don't let old stories and stuck behavior keep you from learning, expanding and healing. I do believe in hope and transformation!

Clients can experience: somatic dance/movement as a mode of healing, inclusion and communication, CBT and strengths-based approaches as forms of empowerment and client centered techniques allowing them to guide the process and experience freedom of expression, while holding space for cultural, social and learned norms, values and narratives.
I work primarily with children who are experiencing difficulties in school, social settings and family life. Much of the training I have received has been in working with those with neuro-diversity in which I use models of self-advocacy, self-expression, and self-esteem in order to obtain growth toward client-based goals. Goals often include but are not limited to increasing awareness of emotional sensations, building coping skills, lowering symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns and increasing relationship skills.

Dance Movement Therapy

What can I expect from dance/movement therapy?

During dance therapy, the therapist will guide the client through dance movements that metaphorically represent a particular challenge, reflect their internal emotional state, or otherwise express physically what is happening for the client mentally. The therapist may “mirror” the client’s movements or simply observe. The client may be encouraged, as they dance, to pay attention to their breath or other physical sensations. Afterward, the therapist and client will often debrief to help the client process the experience.

Is dance/movement therapy evidence-based?

A small body of research has found that dance therapy can help treat conditions like depression, PTSD, anxiety, and eating disorders, as well as nonclinical issues like low self-esteem or family conflict. However, some experts caution that the evidence in favor of dance therapy is not as robust as that of other, more established therapies, and some of the published research is of low quality. Many recommend that dance therapy be used as a complementary rather than stand-alone treatment.

Can dance therapy help with depression?

Some research suggests that dance/movement therapy can aid in the treatment of depression, especially when combined with other therapies; some studies, for example, report that dance therapy combined with antidepressants or talk therapy is more effective than those treatments alone. The positive effects of dance therapy may come from the movement itself, as it’s well-known that physical activity can improve mood and bolster motivation in those struggling with depression.

What are the limitations of dance therapy?

People with disabilities or other conditions that hinder movement may find it more challenging to participate in dance therapy, though a well-trained therapist will take a client’s physical limitations into account when designing a treatment plan. Experts also warn that certain conditions, particularly eating disorders, should never be treated with dance therapy alone; it may, however, be used as an adjunct therapy.
