WELCOME

Thank you for visiting the site for my healing arts practice, Spirit Moves LLC, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 
 

We are all called to evolve beyond our survival level strategies designed to cope with wounding family systems, lineages and social systems. We are collectively facing monumental global challenges, socially, politically and environmentally, that amplify this legacy, and hasten the call for us to cultivate greater capacity to stay present, grounded and lovingly engaged. Returning to our inherent sense of dignity, strength, creativity and resourcefulness requires reorienting towards mobilizing our rich inner and outer resources. During challenging times in our lives, support can fortify our capacity to navigate with courage.


At the heart of my practice is trauma informed and neurodivergent aware somatics of co-regulation and connection. Whether in the context of psychotherapy, couples therapy, compassionate uncoupling or groups, I support clients in reconnecting to the wisdom of the body, the resilience of the nervous system, and the healing power of attuned relationship.


Working with adults and couples is truly an honor. As an artist, I particularly enjoy working with fellow creatives, couples with compassion, women in the midst of being initiated by peri and post menopause, adults just discovering their neurodivergence, and queer folx. If your sense is we would be a good fit for working together, please reach out.

My Practice

I  believe that belonging is the most fundamental need we share as humans. Belonging to ourselves, to each other, to the land, to our lineages and to the stories and songs that unify us, not just as humans, but in our interdependence with all beings. 

​​

As we learn to trust the innate intelligence of posture, movement, breath, felt sense, voice and subtle energy, we cultivate the conditions for empathy, curiosity, collaboration, and playfulness. As our capacity to use our embodiment as a finely tuned instrument to express what is in our hearts, our capacity for secure attachment expands —not only to ourselves and to other humans, but also to all beings, our living planet and to Source, however we each identify the benevolent presence of lifeforce.

 

Together we can embolden our resilience and honor our vulnerability for whatever thresholds, known and unknown, we are crossing with the care we need and deserve to access.

SERVICES OF THE HEART

Psychotherapy

Summoning the courage and skills to live a more authentic and interdependent life often requires support. Together, we’ll explore the obstacles that led you to seek therapy, your vision of what’s possible, and the inner and outer resources that can support your movement—from the dance you’re in, to the dance you long to be in.
 

My holistic approach recognizes that unmet needs and unresolved experiences show up in the mind, body, behavior, and relationships. In session, we center somatic awareness—developing skills for self-regulation and co-regulation that foster clarity, resilience, and right action. This embodied approach helps you shift from survival strategies into a more vibrant, connected way of living.

Couples Therapy

The path of conscious relationship invites us to develop the skills to attune and respond to our partner’s feelings, needs, and requests—while staying true to ourselves.
 

The very obstacles that arise in relationship often point the way toward what both partners long for: deeper connection, emotional safety, and a fuller expression of love. Past injuries and ruptures can be repaired and resolved.

 

With support, couples can regain clarity and move forward—whether that means renewing your commitment with vitality and intention, or parting ways with compassion and care.

VOICE

When we feel truly welcomed, our capacity to listen expands—listening to ourselves, to each other, to the land, our lineages, and the songs that carry and connect us.  Singing together awakens this deep knowing. It reminds us of our interdependence with all beings.

Join us in circle to explore the power of lifting our voices up, together. Through community singing, vocal improvisation, movement, and song ceremony, we co-create a space for connection, creativity, and communal care.  Let's honor our vulnerability and celebrate joy together—meeting the thresholds we’re crossing, seen and unseen, with courage, presence, and song.

My Path

I began my clinical practice in 1996, during my first graduate internship. Since then, I’ve been devoted to the art and science of building secure, attuned relationships. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, elders, couples, and groups in settings ranging from mental health and substance abuse clinics to K–12 schools, community colleges, private practice, yoga studios, and retreat centers.

 

As a somatic psychotherapist and expressive artist, I bring a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-aware lens to all that I offer. My work integrates deep listening with playful exploration—guiding individuals, couples and groups toward greater safety, connection, and creative expression. 


Alongside my clinical work, I also lead community singing and vocal improvisation workshops, retreats, and gatherings that invite participants into deeper relationship with creative risk taking and freedom. These offerings are focused on presence, play, connection and belonging as the ground of transformation for collaborative music making.

 

Like you, I am a lifelong learner—continually evolving through study, community, and relationship with my beloveds, teachers, and the sacred.

Well-being is relational.
Through the practices of shared presence

—with ourselves, one another,
the living world that holds us and Source—
we return, over and over, to the refuge of

safety, connection, belonging and play.
