About My Clients

Are you wondering how you can sort through difficult feelings and find yourself? Maybe you’re not sure about the cause of these feelings, or maybe you know exactly what’s making you feel this way. Maybe you just need an outlet. We can work through this together. Through music therapy along with elements of traditional talk therapy, I’ll work to provide you with a safe space and opportunities to help you feel grounded and present.

My Background and Approach

I am a board certified music therapist and licensed creative arts therapist. Music experiences can look different for each person, and we will explore them together based on your interests and needs. Some examples include instrumental or vocal improvisation, songwriting, singing, lyric analysis, and focused listening. No music experience necessary to benefit from this model of therapy. Over 15+ years of clinical practice, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults of varying abilities and needs, including anxiety, depression, and a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. I have extensive experience working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and neuro-diverse conditions. Together in music experiences, we will work towards your goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a music therapist, I believe in connecting and building relationships through engagement in music experiences, meeting each person where they are. I believe that people have the answers to their questions, but at times need a person and circumstance to provide the opportunity to be heard. Music experiences can be a powerful force to help you along your journey, through active engagement or just being receptively present.
