Music Therapy in King Of Prussia, PA
My holistic approach to music therapy is strength-based, resource-oriented, client-centered, and neurodivergent affirming and is informed by psychodynamic and humanistic theories.
As a board certified music therapist, I believe creativity is an essential tool for life. Creativity makes us resilient, effective, helps us solve problems, and helps us imagine what is possible. You may be looking for creative ways to approach therapy for you or your child. You or your child may identify as neurodivergent and want to explore ways to manage stress, develop coping strategies, express complex emotions, develop emotional intelligence, and enjoy positive and affirming social experiences. Music creates a rich environment for all of that all while helping individuals build self-esteem and a positive sense of self.

I've often wondered where the immense levels of passion that stir within me while conducting therapy sessions arise from, and I've traced that passion back to the point in my own personal journey over a decade ago when I had first discovered that I was able to fully participate in the transformation of my mind and life by cultivating a deeper sense of awareness upon my thoughts, beliefs, and self-concept. Ever since going through my own profound waves of transformation, I've always had a fire within me to bring that same awareness to others - to illuminate that they too can play an extraordinary role in creating a better tomorrow.

People come to therapy for so many different reasons, and no two journeys are the same. Yet if you have arrived on this page, you are probably at least curious. "What can therapy do for me? Is change even possible?" What if we took that curiosity and kept going with it? What might you find along the way? What strengths were there all along? Therapy doesn't always need to feel like surgery. Often the tools you need are already within reach...they can just be hard to see. Let's turn on a few lights and look at what is there.

In many communities and cultures therapy is frowned upon, perceived as a weakness labeling the individual as an outcast. This is very much not the case. Many people believe they are alone, and they suffer in silence because of the stigma that comes with therapy. You do not have to suffer any longer. You deserve peace.

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.
