Great to meet you! I am a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, my eyes are trained to see what our words cannot express...and that's where the magic happens. DMT is a powerful modality combines the art of dance and the science of psychology to unlock your potential for healing and self-expression. By engaging in movement and dance, you will tap into the wisdom of your body, accessing emotions and memories that may be difficult to verbalize. Through this process, you will discover new insights, release tension, and cultivate a stronger mind-body connection.

My ideal client is someone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out from always being "the strong one." They need a safe space to be heard, to reconnect with themselves, and to heal at their own pace. They seek clarity, emotional relief, and a renewed sense of strength after carrying too much for too long.

I am an LGBTQ+ identifying therapist and I like to think of therapy as a big, compassionate exploration. When asked about the type of clients I most work with, I always say, “I love to work with normal neurotics, like you and me.” We get curious together about what is happening for you and explore. I’ve also got a great somatic tool for Anxiety that can truly help! Plus, I am a big proponent of self-compassion work and can't stress enough how important it is to give ourselves just as much love and kindness as we give our loved ones. It takes practice but I swear it’s true.

You've spent enough time negotiating with fear. It never keeps its promises. When anxiety or OCD take over, your mind demands certainty, control, reassurance-anything to feel safe for a moment. But the relief never lasts. You end up struck in the same cycle: overthinking, avoiding, checking, doubting.

Psychotherapy can change your life from overwhelming to manageable. In a caring and supportive space you are invited to begin a journey of healing and change, exploring and understanding your emotional pain. Early attachment experiences with caregivers shape how we form relationships later in life. Often, those beliefs work against happiness. Understanding self-defeating patterns will give you a whole new understanding of who you are, building self esteem and confidence.

I provide a warm and safe yet dynamic environment in which my clients express their innermost thoughts, gain insight, heal wounds and learn to live with more confidence, humor and joy. With 25 years of supervising and clinical experience with children, adults and couples, I am able to quickly attune and help clients feel at ease. I listen closely to my client’s thoughts, fears and dreams while helping them to make meaningful connections that strengthen their sense of self. While deep inner work generally takes time, some positive change can be anticipated rapidly.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
