Great to meet you!

I am a certified expressive arts therapist and licensed clinical social worker. I have over 15 years of experience in my profession.

I provide Expressive Art Therapy (Therapeutic Dance) for adults who want to heal, build confidence, and reconnect with their bodies. My approach blends traditional talk therapy with therapeutic movement and expressive arts to help release stress, process emotions, and improve self-esteem.

My approach to therapy

Clients can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where we use conversation, guided movement, and body awareness to work through anxiety, depression, trauma, body image concerns, and life transitions.

No dance experience is needed—just a willingness to explore healing in a new way.

What you can expect from me

In our first session (50–60 minutes), I will begin by sharing my professional background, credentials, and therapeutic philosophy so you have a clear understanding of who I am and how I work. We will then review a comprehensive psychosocial assessment to explore your history, current concerns, strengths, and goals.
