Hello! I am so glad you're here.

I invite you to dance with these words as I share a bit more about myself! I am a licensed professional counselor, board-certified dance movement therapist, certified movement specialist & educator, certified professional clinical supervisor, and a certified Chi for Two® Embodiment Coach.

​

I completed my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy & Counseling from Columbia College Chicago, after teaching dance, working with at-risk youth and performing professionally in England and the Republic of Ireland for several years. I have a passion for music, poetry and gardening, cooking, languages and travel. I am in awe of how richly culture enlivens our energetic dances.

I maintain a private psychotherapy practice, provide clinical supervision, and serve as an educator and public speaker. I am an active member of the American Dance Therapy Association Southern Chapter, and the Atlanta dance community.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports kids, teens, young adults, and caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode. My clients often come to me when they're tired of repeating the same patterns, struggling with confidence, or carrying heavy experiences from the past.

I help clients break old cycles, build self-worth, and feel more grounded. You don’t need to show up perfect or have all the answers. I meet you exactly where you are, at your pace, with no judgment.

I’m here to help you understand your story, build healthier patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in yourself.
