About Me

​

I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist (BC-DMT) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I specialize in working with athletes and performing artists to remove mental and emotional barriers in service of strengthening peak performance and reaching their fullest potential. My approach centers round the mind/body connection. I employ creative, trauma-informed, neurobiologically bases approaches to achieving one’s very best version of themselves. I see the creativity, beauty and potential in each individual and helps them access it within themselves. I love to work with clients on setting goals and moving toward achieving them as they heal from the past and find balance in the now and the future ahead of them.
