I view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients face the impact that physical change has on their mental and emotional well-being through illness, life-transitions, and loss. I hold space for the experience of medical trauma; chronic, progressive, and advanced illness; chronic pain; birthing bodies; end-of-life care, and grief.
Transitions show up throughout our daily lives - not just the big moments. I also work with neurodivergence, depression, anxiety and relationship concerns to address the needs of the whole person and find creative approaches to authentic self-expression.
I specialize in grief counseling and values-based decision making. As a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, I use movement, body awareness, and creative expression to explore the mind-body connection and support a sense of wholeness. I also utilize verbal approaches, including ACT, CBT and narrative therapy.
The idea of therapy can feel vulnerable and overwhelming. I use a compassionate, collaborative approach that taps into individual values and strengths, while offering authenticity and curiosity. I honor each person's experiences as meaningful, powerful, and valuable - and wholly theirs. My approach is tailored to you, exploring what creates your safe space.
