The need to feel heard and understood exists within all of us and is vital to thrive in life. Without this need being met, you can find yourself struggling with feeling disconnected from others, weighed down by depression, held back by traumatic memories, overwhelmed by worry and fear, or stuck in your life while it seems as if everyone else is passing you by. Holding your story with great care, I can offer you a safe haven so that you can reach your own healing and a sense of empowerment in your life.

This includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a gentle approach similar to EMDR that uses eye movement and visualization without needing to retell the full story.
As a Latinx immigrant therapist, I warmly welcome and affirm individuals of all identities including those within the LGBTQIA+, Latinx, immigrant, 1st-gen, Black, Indigenous, Asian, and broader BIPOC communities. My approach is rooted in a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and holistic perspective—tending to the mind, body, and soul. Healing can be more than shifting our thoughts—it can also look like listening to the body, supporting the nervous system, and reconnecting with the parts of you that are resilient, grounded, and alive.

Do you find yourself ruminating about your fears and frustrations? Are you having communication issues with your partner? At work? With friends? Feeling anxiety? Depression? Do you experience more lows than you are used to? Does life feel like a burden, something that is happening to you and you have no ability to move toward what you want, but rather complain and blame those you love? The past few years may have been very hard for you, and you feel a bit hopeless. Do you find yourself reacting to other people's statements about you? Do you argue and try to convince them that they don't understand?

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.
