My practice encompasses embodied forms of psychotherapy. I combine sensorimotor psychotherapy and DMT as the primary modalities of treatment. My background as belly dance performer and teacher for over a decade has given me insight on the power of somatics. As we continue to decolonize therapy and question older models that focused on cognition or "mind-set" alone, we have an opportunity to reinvest existing knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors that viewed mental well-being as movement, dance, community health and belonging. Neuroscience provides evidence which shows us that we cannot heal traumas by our thoughts alone.
