Bio

I have spent my life using my body to express myself. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, I offer those I work with the opportunity to do the same. I hold firmly to the belief that the mind and body are not separate, but are in fact linked and that exploring this connection in the present moment, both verbally and non-verbally, has healing and therapeutic effects.

While I work with parents at any point during their parenting journey, a focus and core component of my practice is supporting parents who have experienced difficult births. This can mean many things...giving birth and bringing another life into this world is an important and tremendously challenging experience which can have many unforeseen paths. Whether you are the individual physically experiencing the birthing process or a partner witnessing the moment, there can be immediate and/or lasting waves of physical and emotional difficulties that can ripple through and effect your life. These paths are endless and unique to each of us and might include premature births, medical challenges for parent and baby, birth trauma/fear, loss over not experiencing the birth that was planned or wanted, judgement concerning birth choices, discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender expression, or grief from losing the little one you carried. Every birth story is unique, important, and special and no matter how it unfolds, you deserve to be heard. Because giving birth is a physical act, using the body to process is an essential part of integrating the experience and can shed light on and bring healing to parts of one's inner world that can not be accessed only through verbal expression. My work is to witness, listen, hold space, and journey with you as you explore your birth story and the impacts it has had on your life.
