Dance/Movement Therapy
Long Island, NY
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you or overwhelmed by emotions you can't seem to put into words?
Maybe you’ve experienced a big blow-up at work, where your emotions felt too overwhelming to control, or perhaps you’ve noticed your relationships becoming strained as your family or friends point out how withdrawn you’ve been. You may be struggling to keep up with your daily responsibilities, constantly feeling exhausted and irritable, or simply finding it harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. Perhaps you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, unsure of how to even begin addressing the weight you’re carrying.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
Struggling to stay focused and productive at work, with even small tasks feeling overwhelming.
Feeling distant or even alienated in your relationships, unable to communicate what you’re going through.
Experiencing physical symptoms like fatigue, tension, or restlessness, which seem to mirror your inner turmoil.
Dance/Movement Therapy offers a path to reconnect with yourself, process your emotions, and find a sense of balance and relief. Through movement, you can explore and release what feels stuck, discovering new ways to express yourself and navigate life’s challenges.

FAQs
What are Dance/Movement Therapy sessions like?
A: Dance/Movement Therapy sessions are a blend of conversation and movement tailored to your comfort level. In each session, we’ll explore your emotions and experiences through both verbal reflection and guided physical movement. Don’t worry—this isn’t about choreography or being a “good dancer.” Instead, we’ll use movement as a tool to express feelings, release tension, and gain insights that might be hard to articulate with words alone. To make sessions interactive and comfortable, we may incorporate breathing exercises, gentle stretching, or creative movement activities that align with your goals.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
A: The length of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals. Some clients find a few months of therapy helpful for navigating a specific challenge, while others prefer to continue longer for deeper growth and exploration. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust the approach as needed, ensuring that the process feels supportive and aligned with your goals.
How do I know if Dance/Movement Therapy will work for me?
A: While every individual’s experience is unique, Dance/Movement Therapy can be particularly effective if you find it hard to express your feelings verbally, feel disconnected from your body, or want a creative, holistic approach to healing. Many clients who feel “stuck” in traditional talk therapy find that movement offers a new and powerful way to process emotions and gain insight. As a board-certified Dance/Movement Therapist, I’ll guide you through this process with compassion and expertise.
How do we get started?
A: Getting started is easy. Simply reach out to schedule an initial consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals, answer any questions you have, and determine if Dance/Movement Therapy is the right fit for you. This first step is about understanding your needs and ensuring you feel confident and supported as we begin this journey together.
