  • NO and YES. I am a Dance/Movement Therapist, and I believe movement is a valuable tool for healing. But this is not about dance performance or dance education. Every session is unique to you and where you are in the present moment.


    Yes, I may challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone, but we will always work at your pace and with your resistance in mind. I have a very broad definition of movement—it can be as small as a shift in posture, a breath, or subtle gestures—or as expressive as full-bodied movement. Ultimately, my goal is to support you in expression and connection with yourself—especially when words or logic don’t fully capture what you’re feeling.

  • Therapy and life coaching can have similarities, but the key difference is in treatment and focus. Simply put, therapy addresses mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.) and focuses on emotional healing, deep self-exploration, and building resilience. It helps you understand why certain patterns exist and gives you the skills to navigate and create the life you desire.


    Life coaching, on the other hand, is goal-oriented and focused on actionable steps for achieving specific outcomes. It’s less about why you haven’t reached those goals yet and more about moving forward with strategies and accountability.


    I do offer Embodied and Somatic Coaching, which is distinct from both therapy and movement-based work. This approach is designed for those who want to explore personal growth, embodiment, and nervous system regulation without engaging in formal psychotherapy. If you're curious about whether this type of coaching is a fit for you, feel free to contact me for more information.

  • YES! Therapy is not about being told who you are or receiving advice on how to be. It’s about deepening self-awareness, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation—no matter how intellectually advanced you are.


    Gifted, creative, and highly intelligent people often experience:


    • Emotional intensity & sensitivity – Feeling things deeply, leading to overwhelm or difficulty relating to others.

    • Feelings of isolation or not belonging – Experiencing the world differently can create awkwardness or social disconnect.

    • Perfectionism & impossibly high self-standards – Leading to shame, self-doubt, procrastination, or burnout.

    Therapy can help you regulate your emotions, build self-trust, and create balance—so you can fully engage with your gifts without getting in your own way.

  • There is no standard timeline for therapy—it depends entirely on you and what you hope to gain.


    At the beginning, we’ll establish goals and check in on progress over time. Healing is not just about “checking off” goals but about feeling confident in your ability to navigate challenges and growth without therapy.


    Some people find 3 months helpful for gaining awareness and new tools. Others find that around 6 months, they begin making meaningful changes. Some continue therapy as a space for ongoing self-growth, while others work toward a specific outcome and end when they feel complete. I will never expect you to be in therapy longer than you need.

  • Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, depending on their needs and goals. We can discuss what frequency feels best for your process.

  • I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or missed sessions may be subject to a fee.

  • Therapy works best when you feel safe, seen, and understood. If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can discuss your needs, my approach, and whether it feels like the right fit for you.
