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

MA, lcmhc, BC-DMT, SHE/THEY
I am a board certified dance/movement therapist and licensed clinical mental health counselor working on sacred land that is home to the Massachusetts people and in Vermont, on the unceded territory of the Abenaki Nation.
As a queer, non-binary, white, witchy, social justice oriented clinician, I am passionate about guiding people to follow their hearts and survive this crazy, beautiful world.
I am here for supporting humans in moving through big life changes, stress, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression and internalized oppression. My practice is deeply rooted in antiracism, somatics, expressive therapy, mindfulness, trauma and attachment neuroscience and theory.
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.
