If you are looking for a therapy experience that goes beyond talking and helps you connect to your whole self, Dance/movement therapy could be for you!! If you have tried traditional "talk" therapy and it has not produced the changes you are wanting, a Dance/Movement therapy session will help you make shifts in session (literally!) that you can apply in your everyday life. If you or your child or teen does not like to "talk" about your feelings, DMT is a solution! At my core, I see movement as our path to wellness. Movement connects us to our physiology and psychology to really affect change- we cannot just think our way to change, we need to move it! I use the body, which is never in the past or future, as a tool to help clients become aware of your own physical and emotional states in the present. I strive to connect my clients to your bodies and from there we practice techniques to empower you to embrace living in your bodies and connecting to your whole self.
I have over 20 years of experience using movement and connecting one's whole self in therapy. I have a Master's degree in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling from Columbia College, Chicago. I have a BA from Cornell University in Biology, Psychology and Society. I am further Certified in Integrative Health & Nutrition for Mental Health.
My Whole-istic approach is best suited for clients that want to shift their unhealthy relationship with their body, food and stress. If you struggle with negative body image and are sick of unhealthy attempts to control food or body, then this work if for you. Movement is needed to shift your lived in experience of the body from control to freedom and joy.
