I am excited to offer music therapy as a refreshing approach to address your needs.
Has traditional psychotherapy not been effective for you? Do you find that you're most connected to your emotions and self when engaged in music? Maybe music therapy is what you've been needing! I work with those who need to express themselves in a unique way and require a more engaging and holistic approach than typical talk therapy. Individuals who work with me have challenges being stuck in autopilot and feeling controlled by their emotions, thoughts, and relationships. My clients are ready to make the necessary life changes in a creative way and are looking for sustainable skills to help them in their ever changing environment!

I believe that PLAY is for everyone and I love incorporating play therapy techniques into my sessions with clients of all ages. I specialize in children, adolescents and young adults who experience Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Family Conflicts/Divorce, and Loss and Grief. One of the most effective ways to work with children and teens is to have them "play" out their feelings instead of asking direct questions. I provide clients with extra personalized support between sessions without added cost.

Living on planet Earth right now is an intense experience for many of us. I work with clients looking for a holistic approach to addressing personal issues, such as navigating life changes and transitions, painful relational patterns, and trauma (including acute and complex childhood trauma). I support individuals in learning tools to utilize the wisdom of the mind-body-soul connection to access a greater sense of ease, clarity, groundedness, and cultivate the capacity to enjoy supportive relationships.

Music Therapy
How does music therapy work?
A music therapist will begin by assessing the client’s specific needs and getting a sense of their musical ability and interests. Musical training is not required, and clients of all ages can benefit from this type of therapy. The therapist will then make a plan for how to achieve the client’s therapeutic goal(s) using a range of receptive (e.g., listening to a song) and active (e.g., drumming in a group) music therapy techniques.
What are some common music therapy techniques?
Music therapy usually involves listening to music (either live or recorded). Music therapy clients may also make music on popular instruments, such as the piano, guitar, and hand drum, or sing. Sometimes music therapy can include guided imagery. A music therapist may ask clients to improvise on the spot or even compose their own songs. Dancing or moving to music can be an effective intervention to help clients feel more fully grounded in their bodies and remain in the present moment.
How does music therapy help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
Music therapy can be a valuable creative outlet for clients with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have trouble putting their painful feelings into words. Listening to music can be relaxing while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. In addition to its mood-boosting effects, music therapy can help clients build resilience and overcome PTSD symptoms that may interfere with their daily lives.
How long does music therapy take?
Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes. They can be scheduled in advance (for example, once a week) or can be done on an as-needed basis. Some clients will only require a handful of music therapy sessions to achieve their goals, while others may need months or longer, depending on their specific concern.
