About My Clients
Most days you can pretend that everything is ok--that you don’t need therapy for anxiety—especially if you keep busy. Then there are these moments of panic where all of your emotions hit you and you can’t find a way to feel better. Maybe you drag yourself out of bed to go to work and have anxiety attacks where you cry in the bathroom stall. You try to keep pushing the thoughts or memories that overwhelm you away, to no avail. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can reclaim your life.
My Background and Approach
You need help but you don’t want counseling where you keep talking—but nothing ever changes. Many people think of the traditional couch and an impassive therapist staring at them with no emotion. In reality, there are many ways to heal and there is more and more evidence that trauma and emotions are stored in the body so talking alone may not always be the best way to get better. Thoughts and feelings all originate within the body so movement is a great place to work with our thoughts and feelings. I use a combination of dance/movement therapy, dynamic attachment repatterning (certification in process), and verbal counseling to help you achieve goals. I also use meditation and yoga to help you sit with your feelings and clear your mind. We won't just TALK about what is happening or what has happened to you, we will create new routines, patterns, and strategies that feel GOOD in your body and that work in your life. Our sessions will get you moving through life with more ease.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about helping people with anxiety and depression improve their lives by getting them to connect to themselves and their bodies. I believe how you relate to yourself and how you live in your body has a huge impact on your life. I believe in mental health access for all people and think how we address mental health of individuals shapes our society.
