Your Sleep Therapist for Artists & Creatives

---

I've been a creative soul since childhood, with dreams of becoming a cartoon artist and jazz trumpet player. However, my path took a delightful turn when I discovered the world of dance. As a self-proclaimed weirdo who loves to craft, I found my true passion in movement and expression.

My journey led me to graduate from Columbia College in 2008 with a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography. I've had the pleasure of gracing the stage with esteemed companies such as The Power Company, Sapphire Moon Dance Company, Ebony Dance Theatre/CORE, UNBOUND Dance Company, and later THE MARK Dance Company.

But my story doesn't stop there. Following my heart, I pursued further education, earning a MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling from Antioch University New England in 2013. For nine fulfilling years, I served as an outpatient therapist in Charlotte, North Carolina, two of which I dedicated to supervising other therapists.

In March 2022, I took a bold step forward and established E-MOTIVE Counseling, my online private practice. Here, I continue my mission of assisting adults in managing their mental health, with a special emphasis on sleep health, mood management, and trauma processing.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of sharing my insights at various public events, being a guest on podcasts, and creating enriching video content for a phone app. Additionally, I've been fortunate to be featured in numerous online articles.

As an artist, I've intimately experienced the dichotomy of vulnerability on stage. While basking in the spotlight's warmth, I've also confronted the shadows of self-doubt and criticism. Wrestling with my inner critic taught me the transformative power of quieting those negative voices, allowing me to fully embrace my creative expression. It's this journey that inspired me to transition into therapy, where I now support fellow artists and creatives in navigating their own inner landscapes, fostering resilience, and reclaiming their creative spark.

Join me on this journey as we explore the transformative power of movement, the depths of self-discovery, and the endless possibilities of healing. Together, let's embark on a path of growth, resilience, and holistic well-being.
