“…the movements of the body reveal the movements of the soul.”
-Leon Battista Alberti
What is Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT)?
The American Dance Therapy Association defines Dance/Movement Therapy as “as the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical integration of the individual.”
A Little Bit About Me…
I started exploring movement in the womb (much to my mother’s amusement), and have yet to stop. At the root of my passion is expression, which translated into my professional goals. I received my E-RYT 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in the Winter of 2012 and continue to attend yoga trainings and teach private yoga clients. Ultimately, my deep love and evolving knowledge of transformation, emotional, and physical support through the mind, body, and breath connection led me to obtain my Masters’ Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) from Pratt Institute. At Pratt, I experienced the profound effects ignited in the psyche/soma connection during DMT sessions as an intern in inpatient psych (first year) and the Methadone Clinic (second year) at Bellevue Hospital. I graduated from Pratt with a M.S. in Dance/Movement Therapy in the Fall of 2016.
As a Dance/Movement Therapist in the field, I worked with older adults with severe and persistent mental illness, high risk youth, and adults who experienced severe trauma. My primary beliefs, values, and ethics surround respect for humans and respect for humans’ identities & cultures. I am passionate about the ability to meet people where they are both verbally and non-verbally in order to create space for engagement to work with clients with integrity towards their goals. Along with my DMT practice, I am currently finishing my Masters in Social Work at Fordham University.
