Somatic counseling is an approach to therapy that honors the inseparable relationship between mind, body, and emotion. It attends to how developmental and traumatic experiences shape patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior, and how those experiences are held in the body. Through gentle, experiential techniques, somatic counseling supports the safe accessing, processing, and integration of these experiences, fostering greater regulation, resilience, and wholeness.

Dance/Movement Therapy is a body-based form of counseling that integrates movement, creative expression, and psychological insight to support emotional, physical, and relational well-being. Grounded in the integration of body, mind, and movement, this approach draws from both traditional and innovative movement practices, informed by self-psychology, applied neuroscience, and Gestalt-influenced theories of development and change. Through movement, improvisation, rhythm, and metaphor, clients are invited to explore experience beyond words, accessing deeper layers of meaning, expression, and healing.

I am trained as both a somatic therapist and a dance/movement therapist, with an approach that centers the body and nervous system as key pathways to understanding how early development shapes the way you relate to yourself and the world. My work attends to how developmental and attachment trauma are held in the body and continue to influence present-day patterns.

Sessions may include mindfulness, movement, imagination, psychodrama, and, when appropriate, touch to support embodied awareness and integration. While talk therapy is part of the process, it is not the primary focus. My work with eating disorder histories and body image is grounded in a Health at Every Size®, anti-diet, and fat-positive framework, with particular attention to the role of early attachment and developmental trauma.

In our first session, we will begin by getting to know one another and establishing a sense of safety and trust. Together, we will collaboratively explore your intentions and goals—gently attuning to both words and embodied experience—to begin mapping the direction of our work. This session is an opportunity to orient to the process, ask questions, and begin building a relationship grounded in curiosity, care, and collaboration. From there, we will meet either weekly or biweekly while we continue to establish a working realtionship.

When working with eating disorder concerns that fall outside of these parameters, my focus is on supporting clients in building a more collaborative and symbiotic relationship with their bodies through somatic practices and nervous system education. This work often includes gently revisiting earlier experiences to heal the ruptures between self and body, and attending to the deep attachment wounds that are frequently held and expressed somatically. My orientation to ED work always includes an understanding of how systemic oppression and social justice issues contributed to the development of the ED. I take a strong “Health at Every Size”, and Anti-Diet approach.

I am not able to support clients whose primary needs involve crisis care or intensive eating disorder behavior management. This includes frequent bingeing or purging, significant restriction or compulsive exercise, or weight restoration.

A 53-56 minute session is $175. I also offer sliding scale options for those who need.

I do not accept insurance. I can, however, support you in getting a refund for our sessions through your out-of-network benefits if you have them.

I hold sessions in-person in Denver, Monday and Wednesday from 9-3 and virtually Tuesday and Thursday, from 9-3pm
