"Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life. It's the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy..."-Jacques d'Amboise
I provide therapy and support for children with special needs and their families. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your child’s diagnosis and have feelings of what their future might look like, I can help put your mind at ease. I utilize a strength based approach to meet your child where they are and build skills upon the ones they may already have. I offer one-on-one in person support for children and their families who may be experiencing the challenges that come along with diagnoses such as Autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities and anxiety. As a movement therapist, I believe that the body can express what words sometimes cannot, serving as a form of communication and connection. I strive to create such connections with your child in a safe and supportive environment, where they can express themselves and be fully seen and heard.
Through my practice, I have learned the importance of the therapeutic relationship as well as how crucial it is to have someone you can confide in that will listen, support and push you or your child to grow. With the use of music, movement, play, and creativity, we can build on the skills your child has, focusing on social and emotional development, as well as self awareness, body awareness, social skills and the body-mind connection.
If you’re ready to get started, I always offer a 15-min consult to see if we are a good fit. I’d love to help you or a member of your family get the help they need to live better.
