I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in New York State and a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist. I have worked in the mental health field for five years, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My perspective is grounded in the belief that our bodies come with us through our whole lives and have stories to tell.
Working with movement may involve non-verbal expression (such as dance and movement experiences), or simply bringing awareness to how the body shows up while sharing verbally. I also utilize traditional therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based interventions, and integrate them through my unique lens as a Creative Arts Therapist.
No dance experience or training is needed—just curiosity about a creative approach. I specialize in trauma-informed care, emphasizing a humanistic therapeutic alliance and attending to what emerges in the present moment.
Each of us exists in the world with a complexity and story exclusively our own. Through a client-centered, emotion-focused approach to therapy, I offer you the opportunity to explore the parts of your story unique to your identity, develop and nurture self-compassion, and integrate those parts into the fullness of your human experience. At the heart of my work, I strive to create an empathic and safe environment that fully allows you to show up with the vulnerability and honesty as your authentic self.
I specialize in the areas of childhood trauma and emotional abuse/neglect, which may show up in adulthood as feelings of shame, difficulty with vulnerability, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, mistrust with others, and problems in interpersonal relationships.
I use aspects of insight-oriented, psychodynamic, and interpersonal psychotherapy with a trauma-informed approach to aid you in understanding the impacts of previous life circumstances on your present decisions, relationships, and overall well-being. I am a firm believer in honoring the mind-body-spirit connection.
