Psychotherapy and Dance/Movement Therapy Services

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a registered dance/movement therapist (R-DMT). As a humanistic-client centered therapist, I offer everything from traditional talk psychotherapy, traditional dance/movement therapy (utilizing movement and body in the therapeutic process) and anything in between for clients who want some movement or somatic processing along with traditional talk therapy. I believe that every client knows what they need to heal and find holistic mind and body health. While I am there to guide you on your journey, it is up to the client to determine the balance of processing through talking, movement, mindfulness, making art, using music and sound, etc. for your wellness journey. I use the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), focusing on the triangle of how our emotions, thoughts, and actions all affect one another with Polyvagal Theory, using knowledge of the nervous system and strengthening healthy pathways while wiring new pathways to heal underlying trauma, building emotional resilience and coping skills to find happiness amid current and future stressors or traumas. All of this is informed by my training from my MA in Somatic Psychology with an emphasis on Dance/Movement Therapy from Naropa University as well as my certifications as a Laban Movement Analyst from Columbia College Chicago and Alexander Technique from Alexander Technique Denver.
