I earned my degree in Dance/ Movement Therapy from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.

Adjusting to change can be challenging, especially when transitioning through different phases of life. Whether it's a child coping with behavioral concerns, a teenager exploring their identity, or an adult facing the complexities of life, such as finding a safe space is crucial for personal growth. Embracing discomfort is key to growth, so if you're prepared to evolve, let's embrace the discomfort together. "Life is not what it is supposed to be, it is what it is; it's how we navigate it that makes a difference."

My therapeutic approach involves mindfulness practice, movement, introspection, and self-study.
Do you feel dissatisfied with life? Are you struggling with finding purpose? Maybe you notice that you tend to care for others before you care for yourself. You could have a hard time saying “no” or even feel guilty afterwards. These predicaments can stem from not intentionally and holistically honoring our being; mind, body, and spirit. Discipline and consistency, as values of self-care, can be incredibly difficult to implement in a world that’s fast-paced and focused on instant gratification. From racial disparities to social injustice, society forces us to adapt to inequity; how are you caring for you?

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

I have always had an interest in not only how our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected, but also what takes place when an imbalance exists and then how to implore healing. I look at an individual through a holistic lens, and use this approach, when appropriate. As part of this holistic approach, I have the belief that as a part of the world and universe in which we live, that we are all, interconnected and operate as a part of a dynamic system. I am especially interested in how mindfulness practices, yoga, animals, and nature, might influence the ideas of acceptance and non-judgment, and overall, positively affect an individual.

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.
