1. What exactly is individual dance/movement therapy, and how does it differ from traditional talk therapy?

   • Individual dance/movement therapy is a form of psychotherapy that utilizes movement and dance as primary modes of expression and exploration in a one-on-one setting. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies mainly on verbal communication, individual dance/movement therapy emphasizes the use of the body to access and process emotions, memories, and experiences. Through guided movement exercises and interventions tailored to your unique needs, we work together to deepen self-awareness, enhance emotional expression, and promote healing.​​

2. Do I need to have dance experience to benefit from individual dance/movement therapy sessions?

   • No prior dance experience is required to benefit from individual dance/movement therapy sessions. Sessions are personalized to your comfort level, physical abilities, and therapeutic goals. Whether you're an experienced dancer or have limited movement experience, the focus is on cultivating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore and express yourself authentically through movement.

3. How many sessions will I need to see results, and what can I expect in terms of progress in individual dance/movement therapy?

   • The number of sessions needed to see results varies based on individual needs, goals, and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Typically, clients may begin to notice changes within a few sessions, but long-term progress often requires ongoing commitment and exploration. Progress in individual dance/movement therapy may manifest as increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, enhanced body-mind connection, and a deeper understanding of personal patterns and behaviors.

4. How do you ensure confidentiality and privacy during individual dance/movement therapy sessions?

   • Confidentiality and privacy are paramount in individual dance/movement therapy sessions. I adhere to strict ethical standards and professional guidelines to safeguard your personal information and ensure a secure therapeutic environment. Sessions are conducted in a private setting, and all client information is kept confidential, unless otherwise required by law or with your explicit consent.

5. What types of issues or concerns can be addressed through individual dance/movement therapy?

   • Individual dance/movement therapy is well-suited for addressing a variety of mental health and emotional concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, body image issues, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and personal growth. By integrating movement, breathwork, guided imagery, and creative expression, we can explore and process these issues in a holistic and embodied way, fostering healing and transformation.

6. How do I know if individual dance/movement therapy is right for me, and how can I get started?

   • If you're considering individual dance/movement therapy, I invite you to schedule an initial consultation. During this session, we'll discuss your specific needs, goals, and any questions or concerns you may have about the therapeutic process. Together, we'll explore whether individual dance/movement therapy aligns with your preferences and therapeutic objectives.
