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.

You may look like you’re holding it all together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change. If trauma, grief, or self-worth wounds are keeping you in cycles of anxiety, shutdown, or self-doubt, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry it by yourself anymore.

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.
