Dance/Movement Therapy
Dance/ Movement therapy is a powerful form of psychotherapy and counseling that utilizes many mind/body approaches to promote healing. It draws from the historic tradition of dance as a communal and healing ritual of expression, and from a more modern understanding of interpersonal neurobiology. Through relaxation techniques, rhythmic interactions, sensory awareness activites, and fine and gross motor play a dance/movement therapist can help clients improve body image, self-esteem, and relatedness, and foster social/emotional growth.

I am a graduate of Duke University (Durham, NC) in Biology and of Antioch New England Graduate School (Keene, NH) in Dance/Movement Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of North Carolina, and a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist. My movement studies have included many forms of dance, yoga, and Tai Chi. My special interests in psychology include the nonverbal aspects of parent/child attachment, preparing for and processing childbirth, treating body-image and trauma issues through the body, and helping children with developmental disabilities and differences have more meaningful relationships.
