Dance / Movement Therapists in New York City, NY

From the outside, it looks like you're doing everything right. You work hard, show up for others, and push yourself to succeed. But behind the scenes, you're exhausted. You overthink every decision, replay conversations in your head, and constantly wonder if you're doing enough. No matter how much you accomplish, it never seems to feel like enough. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. I specialize in helping teens and young adults break free from perfectionism, anxiety, and self-doubt. Together, we'll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, learn how to quiet your inner critic, and build confidence that isn't based on achievement alone. As a therapist and dance/movement therapist, I believe healing happens when we learn to listen to both our minds and our bodies. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Therapy with me isn't about becoming a different person—it's about helping you feel more like yourself again. You don't have to keep carrying the pressure alone. If you're ready to stop striving for perfect and start living with more confidence, self-compassion, and joy, I'd love to help.

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.

New York City has the largest and most diverse therapy community in the world, with practitioners representing virtually every therapeutic modality, cultural background, and specialty area. The city's pace, density, and cost of living generate pervasive anxiety and burnout, while its diverse boroughs mean therapists fluent in dozens of languages serve communities from every corner of the globe.
