Accepting New Clients

Get To Know Me
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Please note: *I am only accepting dance/movement therapy clients at this time.*
I like to highlight the seemingly small shifts which can be transformational and are significant signs of progress, whether that is experiencing a sense of increased safety when leaving the house, or the ability to engage in breathing practices without feeling anxious. All of these moments can lead to longterm progress.
What excites you most about the evolving mental health landscape?
The incorporation of the body in mental health treatment, in particular for clients who have experienced trauma, has been a necessary and exciting evolution in this field. As a psychotherapist that values and honors the body's responses to trauma and stress, the openness to body based modalities has been transformational.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I've found that bringing some of my key personality traits such as lightness and humor into my sessions, when appropriate, has helped to facilitate growth and healing in many of clients, especially for those who have experienced complex trauma.
