Dance / Movement Therapists in Lowell, MA

I take a holistic, integrative approach to therapy incorporating elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, expressive and somatic therapies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe strongly in the mind/body connection and assist clients in creating internal harmony.

I believe therapy is special place where we can reflect, learn, and grow. I work through a relational lens to build a bond with clients to understand what they are seeking from therapy so we can establish goals to get them there. In my work, I integrate elements of dance/movement therapy to honor the whole person and bring focus to both the mind and the body to assist clients to creatively explore themselves cognitively and somatically.

Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

I am a globally certified relationship and marriage coach, licensed Counsellor, seasoned Therapist. My years of hands-on experience cut across relationship therapy, marital counselling, business coaching, career mentorship, grief/trauma/addiction recovery, etc. I possess grandiose expertise in listening, absorbing and analyzing human problems without prejudice. As an individual who has experienced life from all angles (right from a tender age), I am apparently in a better position to counsel and admonish individuals who battle with depression, anxiety, retrogression/set backs, financial turmoils, addiction, emotional/domestic abuse, rejection, youthful exuberance, juvenile delinquency, child abuse, marital/family crisis, etc. My professional background makes me capable of being a great confidant and less judgmental. My sense of humor often gives my clients a soothing sigh of relief, irrespective of the burden at hand. I also provide spiritual counselling services for deeper issues beyond basic comprehension.

Stay rooted deeply in the present moment, allowing your intuition, knowing, and being-ness to shine! These 1.5 hr. Expressive Arts Therapy sessions offer an eclectic approach to therapy. I have created a dynamic toolbox that can meet anyone where they are regardless of what topic you would like to explore. Combining mindfulness, talk therapy, somatic awareness, and creative approaches every session is unique depending on what is most nourishing for you on that specific day.

Lowell is a historic Massachusetts mill city on the Merrimack River that played a central role in the American Industrial Revolution and has since become one of the most ethnically diverse mid-size cities in New England, home to the largest Cambodian-American community in the United States outside Long Beach, California, as well as significant Southeast Asian, Latino, and African immigrant populations. The mental health landscape is profoundly shaped by the refugee and survivor trauma of the Cambodian community, many of whom experienced the Khmer Rouge genocide and its aftermath, and by the mental health needs of a broader immigrant population navigating acculturation, language barriers, and the stresses of economic life in a post-industrial city. UMass Lowell has graduate programs in psychology and counseling, contributing to the local mental health workforce. Common therapy concerns include refugee and genocide-related trauma, acculturation stress, intergenerational family conflict, economic anxiety, and the mental health challenges of a remarkably diverse community still building culturally competent care infrastructure.
