Dance / Movement Therapists in West Valley City, UT

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.

Since graduating from grad school in 2003, I have been seeing your problems through your eyes. This philosophy has helped to guide others toward happier, healthier lives. I always let clients know that I am the same person with online therapy as when we met in the office. Being able to connect to clients can be even better when you are in the comfort of your own environment.

We will delicately explore patterns held within the body to support emotional release, deeper self-understanding, and lasting healing.

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 psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

West Valley City is Utah's second-largest city and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state, home to large Latino, Polynesian (particularly Tongan and Samoan), and refugee communities that make it dramatically different from the predominantly white, LDS suburban cities surrounding it in the Salt Lake Valley. This diversity creates significant demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy, and the intersection of mental health needs across immigrant, refugee, and Pacific Islander communities with Utah's broader LDS religious culture—which shapes community norms around mental health and help-seeking—creates a complex and underserved landscape. Intermountain Health and Valley Behavioral Health provide services in the area, and community health organizations address the specific trauma and adjustment needs of refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, acculturation, family stress, economic anxiety, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a city where cultural and religious contexts vary sharply across neighborhoods.
