About My Clients

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of sorts, you've stumbled to the right place. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself and/or your life, and are confused about where to go next. I work with creatively inclined people, educators, students, people in helping professions, entrepreneurs, and people looking for a career change. I accompany people on their search for connection, belonging, and purpose. I can support you in your quest for more fulfilling relationships and work.

My Background and Approach

As a trauma-informed dance/movement therapist, I help you learn how to reconnect with and trust your body. My life-long relationships to dance and improvisation greatly inform the way I approach the therapy room. The word "dance" for me encapsulates the somatic experience of allowing ourselves to find flow in the unknown. While the dance is sometimes more metaphorical than literal, I collaborate with clients to approach their challenges with a sense of curiosity and creativity. Radical acceptance and compassion (towards self and others) are key players in this messy and complex process. I am also level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems, so we will work to build Self-leadership and acceptance of all parts of you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, kink/poly aware, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and work within a Health At Every Size framework. I emphasize body acceptance and take a relational, feminist, non-pathologizing approach. I value authenticity, curiosity, and simplicity, so you may catch me reeling you in from the complex narratives we pick up from all the noise around us to your direct, present moment experience.
