Music Therapy

I have a master's degree in music therapy and am board-certified, meaning I use music based interventions to help you access your psyche, process changes, and explore meaning for yourself.

While I love to talk and listen to you talk, there are times in which language doesn't suffice. In these moments, music can offer unique outlets for expression and communication. I have worked with people of every musical ability, from those that have never touched an instrument, to seasoned performers. If you find music to be soothing, or your identity is reflected in the music you listen to, I will find ways to incorporate it in sessions to provide mental relief.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy and 14 years of experience using music to help clients achieve their goals. Music can be used in many ways to enhance the work done in traditional talk therapy, both inside the therapy session and in one's daily life.

Every Music Therapist has their own way of navigating through the therapy process. In my practice, I personally like to use song discussion, lyric analysis, song writing, music assisted relaxation and musical recreation to help process through and ignite change. We can use a series of live and/or pre-recorded music to engage in the therapeutic experiences. You do not have to be a musician or to have any knowledge of music to benefit from Music Therapy.

In music therapy, music is used as a tool and in relationship with a therapist to help with self expression where words fail.

Music therapy uses music to achieve personalized goals within a therapeutic relationship. It involves listening to, reflecting on, and creating music under the guidance of a trained music therapist. Music therapy can help manage physical pain, reduce stress, improve sleep, boost memory and cognitive function, and provide psychological benefits like lifting mood, reducing anxiety, and assisting in processing trauma.

SSP Trained and Certified

I have been a board-certified music therapist since 2011, and love to engage clients in creative therapy skills to improve overall coping capabilities and emotional understanding. This might include music-based mindfulness experiences, songwriting for emotional expression and healthy communication, active-music making for body-brain reset, and other related tools. Music therapy has shown proven benefits to a wide-range of mental health needs, and is adjustable to you and your interests!

Creative practices can often be a safer and more direct way of expressing, experiencing and understanding the most challenging emotions. I integrate my experience as a performer in Jazz, improvised and World music as well twenty years of zen practice into a unique and effective approach to therapy. Using both verbal psychotherapy and creative art mediums in a safe and supportive environment I work to guide the therapeutic process towards achieving a client's unique goals.
