Dance Movement Therapy in Raleigh, NC
There are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, and disconnected. We lose sight of who we are and what we want. It is my belief that all humans are capable of growth and contentment. That, through practicing self-awareness and self-acceptance, we are able to re-examine beliefs, behaviors, and patterns of protection that keep us from connection and creating joy. I utilize an integrated and relational approach to work with clients on becoming "unstuck" from anxiety, depression, trauma, body image issues, relationship concerns, challenging life transitions, impacts of oppressive systems, and limiting beliefs.

Choosing the right therapist can be a challenging decision, especially when they are working closely with you or your child. It’s important to find someone who listens to and understands your concerns while also being supportive and nurturing. I want to emphasize that I provide a safe environment where empathy, encouragement, and laughter are integral parts of the therapy process. Most importantly, I believe that building a strong relationship with each individual is essential for healing.

You might feel a little lost right now. Or a lot lost. Things that you used to love don't excite you anymore and you feel disconnected or discontent with your daily life. You're in between a reality that you have known for a long time and new a one that is unfamiliar and hazy. Maybe this is a tangible, observable shift in lives: you're getting a divorce, you've moved to a new place, you've quit or lost your job. Or maybe this is an internal liminal space - your current life doesn't seem to fit any more, but you don't know what's next. Parents - I also specialize in behavioral support for preschoolers!

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.
