There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” - Martha Graham

an be hard on our mental health, but is positive for your own (& everyone's) physical health right now if we are able pull it off. Rather than canceling our weekly check in's I am making myself more available. I will be offering an alternative to coming into the office. We can schedule an online opportunity to connect from the comfort of your home. I am eager to support you in grounding, creating art, moving your body, nurturing your spirit and in listening deeply to what you need to continue your healing process. I believe connection is a vital piece of staying healthy. Let me know if you'd like to explore this possibility of meeting online. I am here for you.

​   I am a board certified dance/movement therapist and licensed mental health counselor living/working on the unceded territory of the Abenaki Nation, in Vermont and online. I am supporting humans in moving through big life changes, stress, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression and internalized oppression. 
   My practice is deeply rooted in social justice, antiracism, somatics, expressive therapy, mindfulness, trauma and attachment neuroscience and theory. 
As a queer, non-binary, white, witchy woman I am passionate about guiding people to follow their hearts and survive this crazy, beautiful world. 
    I employ a variety of counseling methods that have been demonstrated by research to be effective at reducing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD symptoms and increasing self-esteem, spontaneity and joy. Everyday I witness clients making profound discoveries of newfound strength in their bodies. I can offer you support in finding a new sense of rootedness and freedom through movement. I can guide you towards becoming more embodied. If you are longing to become a more present & grounded force of change in the world, I would be honored to meet you.
