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!
My unique therapeutic approach entails utilizing the special qualities of music to address challenges in coping, self-esteem, social/communication skills, mindfulness, and self-expression. I also specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training blended with music intervention to provide tangible coping skills in an engaging and memorable way!
I understand that finding the therapy for you can be an exhausting and tedious process. I am excited to offer music therapy as a refreshing approach to address your needs. Please reach out if you have any questions want to know more about music therapy! I hope to connect and start collaborating on ways to use music to create the change you need in your life!
