Thank you for taking the first step into looking for help for you or your family. I have experience with a wide variety of clients after working at a residential treatment center for children and adolescents and working at an outpatient agency for all ages and needs. I am here to help you through challenging times and to achieve your goals. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and parents, but I can help any individual who wants help with anxiety, trauma, depression, family conflict, or simply balancing life's stressors. Asking for help is not easy, but it "takes a village" and you do not need to do it alone.

As a Board Certified Dance/ Movement Therapist, I help clients process emotions and find peace within their bodies.
As we go through the stressors of daily life, it is easy to become disconnected from ourselves. It can be difficult to find the words to talk about distressing events or emotions. I recognize that seeking therapy takes courage and is an act of self-love. You may be seeking a way to heal and reconnect, whether that’s through talking, exploring emotions, or something different altogether. My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore a holistic approach to therapy, with an emphasis on self-awareness, emotional release, and healing.

If you’re reading this page, my guess is that you’ve finally had enough, and finally feel ready to reach out for help. How you feel about yourself doesn’t align with how you’d like to feel, and your relationships aren’t turning out the way you hoped they would. You worry so much that you worry about worrying, and you get lost in made-up scenarios of "what if..." Maybe you aren’t sure how to ask for what you want, and declare what you need. Maybe you grew up in a home where your family didn't take good care of you, or someone you trusted betrayed you. Past pains still hurt, and you aren’t sure how to heal. You're in the right place!

You’re an Autistic, ADHD, or highly intelligent adult who is creative, and driven, but also often misunderstood. You know that you can do so much more than what you’re doing now, but you just don’t know how to get there. You want to get a better job, ask for a raise, start your own business, or make a big career change but some days you’re hit with anxiety, overwhelm, and self doubt that hold you back from what you’re truly capable of. You’re tired of falling short of what you could be and perfectionism says you’re never enough. You’ve been to therapy before, but what you need is a therapist who understands how your brain works.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in Texas, Illinois, and Nevada who are ready for something to shift in their lives or relationships. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns they no longer want to keep repeating. Sometimes the problem is clear, and sometimes there is simply a sense that things are not working the way they once did.

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.
