You have an intuitive, spiritual, or metaphysical perspective. You're pursuing an inspired life, yet there's too much tension inside. Anxiety, heaviness, or history of trauma can weigh on your heart, and make it feel impossible to manifest your dreams. Perhaps your empathy or sensitivity creates its own challenges. With an experienced counselor drawing from a variety of approaches, you can grow in clarity and empowerment. With time, you'll be surprised at the peace and joy you develop about your path.

Experiencing ongoing, underlying anger? Having difficulty concentrating at times? Or problems sleeping? Overly anxious or feeling depressed? Or, is life a bit overwhelming at this time? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, know I understand that living life with these issues saps your joy, making it hard to move forward. As a dance/movement therapist, I use movement to provide a physical dimension to traditional “talk” therapies. Dance therapy allows clients to embody their thoughts and feelings, as well as to practice “walking-through” potential solutions.
