As a licensed professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist, I believe in and utilize the profound connection between the body and mind.
Are you feeling stressed or struggling emotionally? Are you going through significant life transitions? Experiencing losses? Feeling unhappy with yourself or in your relationships? Is your child or adolescent facing challenges? There is no doubt about it, we can find ourselves in difficult places as we journey through life. Most all of us have to face and go through tough times. As a seasoned therapist who has been practicing for more than 25 years, I know that life can throw us curveballs.

I use movement as well as talk therapy counseling in sessions.
Does your child often have meltdowns or emotional explosions? Are you constantly fighting and feel like your home is a battlefield? Is it hard to connect with your child and understand why they’re behaving the way that they are? My family-oriented and collaborative approach to therapy may be a fit. I want to help you and your child decrease the amount of fighting that occurs and uncover why your child behaves the way they do. I believe that if families are more connected, our society becomes more connected, which means a more positive future. And a positive future is what you want for your child.

Therapy is essential when your therapist is as invested in you as you are in your own healing process. Many positive feelings and outcomes can occur when you feel prepared to handle the challenges that await you within the therapeutic process. Preparation includes predictability and practicality – two necessary concepts in my approach to solution-focused therapy. When we feel out of control of what others think or feel, or are in situations we feel defenseless in, we need to remember what we can control. We can solve our own problems with the right mindset and plan of action.

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.
