My Story
I began my professional life as a dancer, training rigorously and touring internationally. Those years taught me about discipline, vulnerability, and the profound communication that happens without words. When I transitioned into psychology, I discovered that the same qualities that made me a thoughtful performer (presence, attunement to subtle cues, and comfort with the unknown) served me well as a therapist.

Embodied wisdom
The body holds knowledge that complements conscious understanding
Relational healing
We heal in connection with others, not in isolation
Authentic presence
Real change happens when we can be genuinely ourselves
Curiosity over judgment
Every behavior, thought, and feeling has meaning worth exploring
