MA Dance Movement Psychotherapy · 4 years experience

Hello, my name is Allison, and I am Qualified Dance Movement Psychotherapist based in Vancouver, BC. I work from the understanding that body and mind are interconnected, and that healing deepens when both are supported. I invite clients to gently listen to their bodies, as movement can offer insights beyond words. I offer individual and group sessions, drawing from psychotherapeutic, embodied, and creative practices to explore what's happening in your life and how you'd like things to shift. My clinical experience spans community mental health, inpatient psychiatric care, and creative arts settings. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, attachment focused, and socially conscious. I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental space that honors your history, story, and identity. Curious about working together? Email me to book a free 20-minute consultation to ask questions, share what brings you to therapy, and get a feel for how I work. I look forward to connecting with you.
