Registered Dance Movement Psychotherapist and Embodied Practitioner

About Me

Originally from Dallas, Texas, I grew up dancing—from childhood all the way through university. But I assumed dance was just my passion, not my profession. Instead, I followed a traditional path into marketing, but as I navigated my own mental health journey, I felt drawn toward something deeper. I left my corporate job, moved to the UK, and pursued a master’s degree in psychology, initially believing I’d train as a clinical psychologist.

But something about the medical model didn’t sit right with me. I felt frustrated by its limitations and knew there had to be more to healing. Then, one day, I opened a psychology magazine to a completely random page—only to find an article on Dance Movement Psychotherapy. I had never heard of it before, but the moment I saw it, something clicked. It was as if every experience I had—my love for dance, my fascination with the mind, my personal journey—suddenly made sense.

Through movement, I found what I had been missing in my own healing. I had spent years in talk therapy (which I still deeply value!), but it wasn’t until I connected my mind and body that I started making major shifts. I realized emotions aren’t just mental, they’re physical.

Now, as a Dance Movement Therapist and Embodiment Practitioner, I help others bridge that same gap. My work blends somatic movement, expressive arts, and talking into an integrative healing approach that meets you where you are—no dance experience required. I have 10+ years of experience in therapeutic work across schools, rehabilitation centers, community mental health, and acute mental health settings. My goal is to help you feel at home in your body again, using movement as a tool for deep, lasting transformation. I believe in a gentle, client-led approach where safety and trust come first. Together, we’ll work at your own pace, using movement to release stuck emotions, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself in a whole new way.

What I Do in My Free Time

Outside of my work, I love spending time in nature—hiking, swimming, running—and finding new ways to move, from yoga to belly dancing. Creativity is a huge part of my life, from writing poetry, to knitting, to learning to DJ . Most days, you can find me at home with my partner and my cat, soaking in the simple joys of life with a good book and a cup of tea.

I believe healing happens when we step outside of what we’ve always done and try something different.
