About My Clients

My ideal client is someone who struggles to maintain a connection to themselves, whether they use escapes like porn, drugs/alcohol, food or shopping. Or cling to emotional patterns like excessive worry, victimhood or isolation. I specialize in Dance therapy and will highly resonate with those who identify with disordered eating and body image issues. But welcome any and everyone who is seeking self regulation and life improvement

My Background and Approach

I have a Masters in Social Work and am currently training to become a Dance Therapist. I live a mindfulness based way of life, and for that I have fine tuned a way of moving seamlessly through the world without crisis and chaos erupting in my life. I am not perfect, nor do I want you to be, but I am here to guide clients to meet themselves in a meaningful way in order to show up authentically, and cared for by the one who can care for you the most which is you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value clear and direct communication. I have been volunteering with Ecstatic Dance Chicago since 2018 and my passion for dance therapy began there; it fosters safe, sober spaces for free form movement and body exploration. I have familiarity with the value of 12 step communities. My self care includes regularly receiving myofascial release which helps release trauma stored in the body and am just an overall fan of body work regularly, yoga, dance, walking any gentle exercises. I am recovered from exercise addiction. I have a spiritual practice that continues to evolve and transform to what I need on the daily; yoga, dance, breathework, prayer, meditation and manifestation strategies are some of the tools I utilize to stay grounded.
