Therapy is a partnership that can help to support and advance your healing, well-being, and empowerment. The therapeutic process is grounded in openness and collaboration and should be as unique as you.

My approach is holistically geared toward assisting people in finding and regaining balance in their lives. My process in therapy is trauma informed and strengths based, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, Narrative and somatic therapy approaches, including hypnosis. I have a special affinity and many years of experience working with Indigenous and BiPOC populations and like to help people in recovery.

My background includes a Master’s Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy, with over 38 years of experience working with people of all ages, backgrounds and orientations.  I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, depending on what works best for each individual.  I have over 100 hours of training in grief and loss, with five years of experience working for a hospice organization.  I also have many hours of continuing education in the area of trauma, and how to help people not only cope with, but move past the trauma to live more fulfilled lives.  In addition to insight-oriented and cognitive therapy approaches, I am excited to incorporate the Emotional Freedom Technique into my practice, to give people practical and easy ways to help themselves.

My approach is person centered and strengths-based, seeing each person as the expert on themselves and emphasizing strengths rather than problems.  I offer support, teach skills, and provide a safe and comfortable space for you to express yourself and explore feelings.  Although therapy is work, I incorporate humor in my practice.  As a dancer and dance/movement therapist, I appreciate the concepts of the mind-body connection, as what affects the mind or emotions, affects the body, and vise a versa.  For this reason, I often encourage people to participate in activities that will engage both mind and body.

I have also lead many groups, including dance/movement therapy groups, grief support groups, and groups for specific populations (ie, Geriatric, Schizophrenic, deaf children).  I have taught dance, worked as an artist model, and set up a peer mediation program for a Jr. High and High School in Arizona.  I have been a dancer (ballet, modern), an inline skater, a skier, and hiker.  Lately, I have enjoyed gardening and landscaping, taking drives to the beach, and watching British television.  I have lived long enough to see how we reinvent ourselves over time, and I continue to do that.  I feel this experience gives me empathy to help others reinvent themselves too.

If you would like to work with me.
