I primarily work within a person-centered approach, valuing and respecting each individual’s capacity for resilience and ability to navigate towards wellness. I honor the courage it takes to seek support, and meet each person with dignity, compassion, and non-judgement. I believe that profound healing and lasting change is most possible in a trusting and genuine therapeutic relationship. My knowledge and specialized training in somatic psychotherapy, specifically dance/movement therapy has afforded me a holistic perspective of the complex dimensions of the person, including the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I have witnessed meaningful and measurable change in response to effective dance/movement therapy and other evidenced based interventions with persons living with physical/psychological/neurological trauma, developmental limitations, psychiatric diagnoses, and behavioral challenges. I am committed to multicultural education, participating in the training and self-awareness needed to engage in effective, culturally appropriate, informed practice with diverse populations such as the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.
