I am a licensed clinical counselor who specializes in dance movement therapy. I hold a graduate certificate in Laban Movement Analysis, which offers another world of possibilities for methods of healing. While working in the field of psychotherapy I have had the privilege to experience many different types of populations with various and usually multiple presenting issues. My specialized training allows me to see and listen to my clients in a unique way.

As your therapist I am here to witness you in this part of your life journey, while helping to maintain a safe space around you as you grow. We will work together to find creative ways to help illuminate a path for you to find a way to where you would like to be. I will give you the tools needed to find the confidence you seek to continue along your life journey, feeling more connected and grounded in who you are. Families are complex living organisms, and need constant care and attention for everyone to feel seen, heard and understood. My work with families and children is focused on creating positive outcomes for all family members who are involved in the therapy process. Which means everyone who is involved in the family will have responsibilities to help build consistency in the application of interventions and strategies. I provide couples therapy as well and follow the same principles when working with you on the important aspects of your relationship.
