Dance Movement Therapy in Murray, UT
I help participants bridge the gap between mind and body using movement and experiential based methods.
Do you feel stuck in your head? Overthinking, anxious, or disconnected from yourself? Maybe you’ve tried talking things through, but something still isn’t shifting. In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s hard, we’ll slow down and gently explore what’s happening in your body, your emotions, and your inner world, in real time. I help adults—primarily women and LGBTQIA+ folks—move beyond just talking about their struggles and into actually experiencing change. Together, we will help you find more balance, confidence, and clarity.

I pride myself on meeting individuals on where they are at in their recovery journey. There is no one size fits all approach, and that’s okay! I am a firm believer that connection is a huge part of recovery and I am here to assist you with compassionate and nonjudgmental care.

I approach therapy in a very real, conversational, and human way. I am not the therapist aggressively taking notes while you talk or making therapy feel overly clinical. I believe people grow best in spaces where they feel comfortable being themselves while still being challenged in meaningful ways. Peer support played a huge role in my work history and is something I still carry near and dear to my heart, though I now utilize it with stronger clinical boundaries as a therapist. My approach focuses on authenticity, connection, insight, and helping people create lasting change that actually feels realistic and sustainable.

I have a background in wilderness therapy and experiential treatment and love to introduce creative, alternative modes of expression to my clients, including yoga movement, narrative, and outdoor based therapies (walk and talk).
My work is influenced by many trauma-informed practices including attachment theory, object relations, EMDR (trained), family systems, and internal family systems. I was trained in trauma-informed yoga and find that, when we address and connect to how our bodies react to the stressors of our lives, we can begin to build new and lasting foundations.

They long to feel grounded, expressive, and attuned to their body’s wisdom, and are drawn to experiential approaches that honor both their inner rhythms and the natural world. Their goals often include finding regulation, authenticity, and a deeper sense of belonging, to themselves, their relationships, and the earth.

I am licensed in UT, am a BC dance/ movement therapist, a somatic and creative art therapist, love nervous system work, and am trained in relational neuroscience.
You were never meant to fit in a box. You’ve spent years keeping the peace, managing others, swallowing your truth, and bending yourself into shapes that don’t fit. But your body is rebelling — the migraines, tension, anxiety, shutdown, numbness … it’s all getting louder. Your soul is screaming. You are at a breaking point, the kind you can’t ignore anymore. Part of you is terrified to speak up, set a boundary, or disrupt the dynamics you’ve held together for so long. But a deeper part of you - the part that’s tired of disappearing — whispers: I can’t keep living like this. You’re not dramatic. You’re not failing. You’re waking up.

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.
