I work with adults who are seeking greater connection to their bodies, creativity, boundaries, and purpose. If you're burned out, overstimulated, and stuck, you can benefit from a dance/movement therapist. Even if someone has never danced before, this work can help heal trauma responses, body image struggles, and disordered eating. Many clients wonder if this is doable in telehealth, and it is! We also may stay seated and incorporate somatic (body-based) work. We also use talking, coping skills, optional homework, and EMDR when appropriate. As a late diagnosed AuDHD person, I can share new psychoeducation on ADHD and Autism.
Through developing a connection to one’s body and creativity with a trained clinician, clients learn to trust themselves more deeply and can experience increased connection to their own vitality. I especially love working with burned out helpers/caregivers and other helping professionals so you can return to your passions.
If you have felt disconnected from your body, your joy, your creativity, and your self, the answers lie in the body. There’s a reason why we disconnect from our bodies. Working with a clinician allows one to safely explore feelings through a compassionate relationship. Yes, even if this sounds totally out of the box for you. That might be the best fit!

If you've tried talking about your struggles and haven't felt much of a shift in the past, I'd love to help. Many of my clients need to verbally process while also integrating body-based interventions. As a dance/movement therapist, I combine verbal and nonverbal/somatic/expressive/creative interventions even if you have never danced and never want to dance. We may also use EMDR and homework.

I intentionally weave in the body and "right brain" approaches to therapy to balance out our highly logical, analytical minds. Many of my clients are verbal processors, so we leave space for that important work. But I'll also encourage us to explore a dream image, engage our bodies, and let our wonderfully weird authentic selves emerge. If EMDR is desired/indicated, we can also integrate that.
