I work with clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, identity exploration, & life transitions. I also enjoy working with movement-based artists and therapists. As a dance/movement therapist & licensed professional counselor, my hope is to support you holistically as your explore your world and find deeper comfort in yourself. My approach is relational and trauma-informed—I strive to create a therapy space that is physically & emotionally comfortable. You can sit on the floor, use fidgets, nourish yourself...whatever your body and mind need to settle in and do the work! I work from a relational, anti-oppressive, neuro-affirming, and curiosity-based perspective. I believe in the power & strength of your mind, body, and heart. Together, we'll talk and move (if you'd like) so you can learn more about yourself, build skills, and move through the world more authentically. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for you to explore and express yourself. I invite you to connect with me as you feel ready, especially if "just talking" in therapy doesn't feel accessible or you are interested in exploring body-based work. I look forward to joining you on your journey!
