My Professional Background

I believe it is important to understand how we move through the world and to discover how our upbringing, relationships, societal expectations, and identities shape who we are as a person or as a professional.
 

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (NY),  Mental Health Counselor (NY), Professional Counselor (PA), and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist (ADTA), and  National Certified Counselor (NBCC). I am an internationally recognized presenter, educator, and author in dance/movement therapy and specialize in using alternative outlets for expression supporting children, adolescents, adults and families in moving through emotional difficulties.  I also serve as Associate Clinical Professor and Program Director for the Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling program at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
