My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in my training as a dance/movement therapist and my deep awareness of the connection between the mind and the body. This offers another way for you to understand how past experiences, tough situations, and stress impact your life. Our bodies are always with us, and it's no surprise that our emotions, thoughts, and worries are expressed through them. It could be a shaking leg before speaking in public, a tight stomach when meeting someone important, or a memory that you feel in your body.

Self-discovery is a lifelong, fluid process that can feel both challenging and empowering. Many people seek out therapy when they feel stuck, held back by old narratives and unhelpful patterns that no longer serve them. I view therapy as an opportunity to embrace change and see oneself more fully. When we deepen our awareness, we can strengthen our sense of agency and move toward a more meaningful life.

The reasons people seek out therapy are multifaceted. Very often, people find themselves feeling stuck in patterns that are confusing and daunting, even when they have some sense of what it might take to live a more fulfilling life. These patterns tend to persist in large part due to a lack of resources, whether time, supportive relationships, or unmet needs. Attempting to regain and nourish these resources can be difficult to do alone. While everyone’s journey will look different, my goal as a therapist is to help clients make sense of unwanted patterns, collaboratively create a roadmap, and move toward a more fulfilled and flexible life.
