My Approach
I believe that true mental wellness involves addressing the whole person - mind, body, and spirit; and involves a practice of healing, not just treating. My mission is to provide a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore and navigate their mental wellness journey; a space to be in connection, to be seen, to be held, to experience the limitless possibility of growth.
At my core, I am a dancer and lover of movement. I deeply believe in the body as a vehicle for healing. Movement has always served as an important tool in my own path towards wellness. I have a Master's degree in Expressive Arts Therapy with a specialization in dance/movement therapy. In addition, I am a licensed Zumba instructor and certified asana yoga teacher. These experiences are my foundations to offer a range of services to support individual mental health needs and increased wellbeing.
With close to two decades working in urban high schools, I specialize in working with BIPOC educators and schools to deepen wellness practices and social emotional learning for staff and the students they serve.
