The name Technique was chosen with intention. In dance, technique is the foundation of disciplined, repeated practice that allows an artist to move with strength, precision, and freedom. It isn't achieved overnight; it's built through consistent, patient work.

We believe healing follows the same path. Emotional wellness, resilience, and confidence aren't things that simply happen to us; they're skills we build, refine, and strengthen over time, with the right support and guidance.

I started competing at 12 and trained for the next 12 years, seven days a week, chasing perfection and quietly carrying more anxiety than anyone around me knew. I loved dance deeply, and I also struggled deeply. What I needed wasn't more discipline or more practice. It was someone who knew how to support the mental and emotional side of performance.

We were taught to push through the tears, the burnout, the fear of disappointing an instructor or letting down our team. Mental wellness wasn't part of the culture. It wasn't even part of the conversation. And one by one, I watched some of the most talented dancers I knew lose the thing that made them extraordinary: their love for it. Eventually, I did too.

That experience is what led me to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. For over 20 years, I've specialized in working with teens and youth athletes helping them build confidence, manage anxiety, and develop emotional resilience. Email us for support!

That's the foundation of this practice: a space where therapy is approached like technique itself, intentional, skill-building, and rooted in practice, not perfection.

Today, Technique Child and Family Counseling supports women, teens, young adults, and dancers through individual therapy, community resilience groups, and dancer wellness support helping each client develop their own technique for a stronger, more resilient life.
