If your child is struggling with ADHD or anxiety, I can help. Maybe they are having emotional meltdowns at home now that the routine of the school year is done. Maybe they're excited about the summer but you feel overwhelmed with how to manage all their energy. As a parent, you want the best for your child, but it can be exhausting figuring out exactly what works best for your child and your family. As a therapist specializing in working with children, I understand children aren't alone and that you as parents also deserve to be empowered. I want to help you and your child feel more connected and less contentious.

People tend to seek therapy for two reasons: to resolve interpersonal conflicts and/or internal conflicts. These conflicts may cause you to feel guilt stricken, frozen in time, panicked, anxious, depressed, nervous, obsessive or withdrawn. Most of the time, these feelings stem from cognitions (thoughts) that lead us down an emotional spiral where we feel out of control and lost. If you want to gain a better understanding of yourself, your trauma history, and how early imprinting may connect to interpersonal or internal conflict, you may find therapy to be a life-giving, healing and liberating experience.

Do you feel stuck in familiar emotional or relational patterns? Overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or carrying a sense that something inside you isn’t fully settling? Maybe you feel anxious, disconnected, have chronic aches, or exhausted from trying to “figure yourself out” without lasting change. Many clients come to me when traditional talk therapy hasn’t been enough & they’re ready to include the body in healing. Therapy can be a place to soften, breathe, and come home to yourself again. Together, we slow down, listen to your nervous system, and gently shift patterns from the inside out so real, embodied change can begin.

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.
