SERVICES:
I offer psychotherapy for anxiety disorders; parenting support for family systems; educational intervention and executive functioning training for specific learning disorders; and somatics and Pilates for physical confidence. In psychotherapy, I bring empathy, curiosity, and patience while also sharing frameworks from ACT and working from a body first framework. As an interventionist, I see my charge as to improve literacy and EF skills while also improving self-confidence and self-awareness. I tailor somatics and Pilates work to each client. I am fascinated by bodies and the physical and fleeting experience of being. With gratitude, we focus on strength, alignment, flexibility, and proprioception. My psychotherapy and intervention practice is supervised by Ronnie Biemans, LCPC.
BIOGRAPHY:
I’m a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Maryland and a Certified Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist. I hold a MEd from the University of Virginia in Counselor Education and a PhD in Dance Studies from The Ohio State University. I have worked as a learning specialist and dance professor at K12 schools and universities. For nine years, I directed a nonprofit organization and created the framework that still guides my work: Action, Support, Curiosity, Challenge, and Resilience.
