It’s been a good back road to here. Now, I feel giddy when my clients say they love how our sessions draw from so many different modalities and can really be catered to them and what they need that day. Art therapy for fuller expression and integration, yoga for stress relief, somatic therapy for inner child healing, dance therapy for emotional and mental shift, guided yoga nidra to build self-awareness, or maybe just talking. Sure… let’s create it and know that psychotherapy is deep and demanding… and can also be joyful, restful, creative, and empowering. 😆☺️

Your body can be a safe place.

Body-based psychotherapies can teach clients how to first tolerate and then later befriend their internal experience.

Instead of constantly avoiding what happens in the inner world, clients learn to build presence.

The initial crack of presence, with consistent inquiry and practice, can become as deep as a canyon. The body and mind- once hellish and overwhelming- become the resource for peace.

This is part of how us humans are designed. Our modern norms have made us forget that. Our bodies were never meant to be places we exile ourselves from. May we return back home to them, with love, and soon.

A Light in the Dark ⭐️

These next few months generally tend to hit my clients harder. Especially in the Northeast, there’s so much darkness, so much cold, and the stress of holiday and family demands ramp-up anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and trauma. Let’s help each other through it.

This online expressive arts group is for you if you want to…

⭐️ Get support navigating holiday-related stress
⭐️ Get relief from seasonal depression
⭐️ Relax and rejuvenate with self-care
⭐️ Enjoy no-pressure creative expression
⭐️ Be allowed to be grumpy about it all
⭐️ Get a boost of hope, support, and encouragement
⭐️ Make new friends and be inspired by others

No artistic experience is needed. Expressive Arts Therapies are not about skill or product. They are about the deep healing power of our natural human instinct for creative expression.

About Me: I’m a licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist. I’ve worked clinically in inpatient psychiatric and eating disorder treatment, residential treatment for adolescents, outpatient mental health and substance use disorder treatment, intensive outpatient substance use disorder treatment, public school, and jail. I’ve been in private practice for the last 3 years. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a yoga teacher incorporating reiki, visualization, yoga nidra, breath work, and expressive movement. I’ve been leading healing groups and classes for 17 years. My mission is to support clients in having more self-love and happiness while living their version of a fulfilling life. 🩷

I close my eyes, no music, and wait for movement to come. Sometimes it moves me; other times I seem to choose. All along, I just notice, if and what I might.

As you watch here, you are my witness. You might notice your own body, the thoughts or emotions that arise, projection.

After moving, there’s a time to speak. A time to take the unconscious expression of the body and bring it to consciousness. In speaking, we encounter our own truths… the hidden and forgotten ones, and the ones we can’t hear because we’ve filled the space with business, and the ones we’ve always known that come to ask for acknowledgment, once again, and even the brand new ones that arise from some inner spring of life unfolding.

And we do it together- a journey of being seen as we are in any given moment, space to just be.

This practice, The Discipline of Authentic Movement- developed by the late Janet Adler, is dear to me in my work. When a client wants to work in this way, it lends itself to developing self-trust, self-acceptance, inner peace, and a deep sense of belonging.

If I admit it
That there’s something seductive about those purples
And the way summer’s green leaves are smoldering
If I admit it
That the melancholy artist returns with the nightly chill
The one enamored with the scent of rotting earth
If I admit it
What will happen to summer’s wild child- berry juice on her warm skin
It seems such a loss to let one thing fall away
To receive another
And there’s nothing to be done
But prepare
And appreciate the purples
Admit they’re intoxicating
And honor that a time of transition is whole in itself

Grateful to have completed the 2-year SomaSoul® Somatic Therapy training program at . This training was intensive and personal in the most meaningful ways. It’s somatic and attachment-based. A SomaSoul® Session would include feeling sensation in the body and then working with sensation using things like presence, breath, reflection, drawing, writing, moving, or imagining. The patterns that bring us to psychotherapy live in our bodies, our nervous systems, and our implicit (non-verbal, unconscious) memories. Somatic and Expressive Arts Therapies access those patterns at those deep levels and bring healing and transformation to them. For me, while I was a student in this program, I felt a lot of support to be seen and held by others in my vulnerability, my fears, my joys- my full emotional aliveness. As a therapist, this is the kind of therapy I attend for myself. I recommend this program every chance I get. 💖

HeartMath® techniques change the heart rhythm to sync with the brain and increase positive emotions- informed by decades of science. Amazing!

Practitioners can also use biofeedback devices to watch, in real time, how their heart rhythms shift towards wellbeing as they practice. They learn to use these techniques to shift their overall emotional state towards the positive using breath, imagery, and emotion generation. Amazing!

I learned about the power of breathwork, imagery, and emotional generation through practicing the Indian tradition of yoga before it was so popular in science. As always, I’m grateful for the blending of ancient and modern wisdom. As always, I know there are so many tools available for us on the path to mental health and well-being. has a wonderful and informative article about how it works, linked in my bio.
They even describe techniques so you can learn and practice!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or other mental health symptoms, let me offer you that there is no one right way to move towards wellness, that every small imperfect step matters immensely, and that I believe in you. ❤️

Good signs all around. Part of mental health is not denying the pain but also being open to beauty and goodness. The more we notice and feel goodness, the more our brains become primed for that. One way to improve symptoms of anxiety or depression is to (not deny the hard feelings but also) practice noticing and feeling the good. What beauty is here for you today?

Did the global pandemic normalize psychotherapy as a basic wellness support for the average person?

Didn’t know seaweed roots to rocks! The need to root, to ground, to hold onto something. What do we root to and how does it shape a life? Root to community, kindness, breath, play, gratitude, laughter, beauty, honesty, tenderness, respect, dignity. Root to anger, resentment, fear, shame, fighting, denial, numbing. What do we root to, and how does it shape a life?
