DANCE/MOVEMENT PSYCHOTHERAPY

Great to meet you! I am a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, likening myself to a superhero, my eyes are trained to assess, observe, and notice what our words cannot express...and that's where the magic happens; my superhero powers kick in! Being a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist allows us to think outside-of-the-box in order to cultivate the therapeutic space. I love to mention to preceptive clients, “You are not required use your "‘jazz hands’ or bust out in a count of ‘5-6-7-8’ during session, BUT we have the ability to, if we wanted too!”

A bit about my approach to therapy?

I am warm by nature, my approach is always person-centered, with a mix of empowerment, humor, all while being direct.

What you can expect from our first session?

Within sessions, I often use visualization, movement, and exploring what our words may not be able to express in addition to traditional talk therapy sessions. Clients will have the space to receive strength-based statements, moments of bold honesty, and homework, yes I give homework.

What is DMT?

Dance/Movement Psychotherapy (DMT) is defined by the American Dance Therapy Association (www.ADTA.org) as the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being. During your session we will explore movement, build body awareness, while enhancing self-expression, stimulating your imagination and promoting creativity. Contact us for a consultation, we care about your wellness.

REIKI

What is Reiki? In Japanese terms, Ri means (Cosmos) and Ki means (Spiritual Energy). Reiki is a spiritual healing method which is said to bring out healing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the energy to flow in a healthy and natural way.

Reiki energy allows the muscles to relax and increases blood flow to treated areas, which in turn quickens the healing process. Reiki practitioners and clients report Reiki helps them reduce the symptoms of Anxiety, Cramping, Headaches, Insomnia, Menstruation Cramping, Pain, Prenatal/Postnatal Care, Self-doubt, Stress, Worry, and more.
