Dance became my therapy long before I even knew about the psychotherapeutic modality of Dance/Movement Therapy. I was beginning to find my way. Today I can say that I have not only gained a profound love for my body, and therefore myself, but have also mastered my ability to trust the innate wisdom of my body which consistently leads me back HOME.
I have become BodyWise. No matter the kind of challenge you may be up against, awareness is key. The more you practice awareness of your thoughts, emotions and body sensations, the more power you will have to make different choices from the usual pattern which may be keeping you stuck. I can help you find your way to better choices with mindfulness and focus.
If you are alive, you can move. Many times anxiety, stress and trauma manifests as a freezing of the body or an excess of energy in the body which may make you feel restless and on edge. On the other hand, depression may manifest as a heaviness in the body and a disconnect with body sensations, or numbness.

As the founder of BodyWise Psychotherapy, LLC I have a strong passion for supporting people to become BodyWise, or to be more aware of the information that is constantly being communicated between their mind and their body.
Being a body-centered psychotherapist, I understand that often times mental health disorder is rooted in a lack of connection with the body.
By creating a bridge between what we think, how we physically feel and how we experience the world, we can find harmony.

So what is Dance/Movement Therapy exactly?
I first discovered the power of dance and movement as a healing modality when I was about 12 years old.
I became part of my middle school dance team and as a pre-teen dealing with the struggles of puberty and undiagnosed depression, I fell in love with the ability to regulate my emotions within the somatic realm.
Outside of school, my family and Cuban culture nurtured this affinity towards dance and instilled in me a deep-seated passion for movement.
I followed this passion into high school and later pursued two bachelor's degrees in dance and psychology.

Is your inability to deal with stress taking a toll on your relationships, family and home?.
My approach is empathetic and warm as I encourage you to be present and "lean in" to those uncomfortable feelings.
My goal is to help you become aware of the information that is constantly being communicated between your mind and your body.
By creating a bridge between what we think and how we feel, we can then have direct experience of the world.
