Music Therapy

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.

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

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.

As a music therapist I specialise in Transpersonal Archetypal Music Therapy, integrating the wisdom of natural cycles into the therapeutic space.

As a lyricist, I have utilized my skills and experiences to help others address life's challenges through songwriting in therapy. Mental health sessions are an ideal venue to be vulnerable through music creation and allow you to discuss problems in a fun, engaging, and artistic way. Personally, music helped me find my way again following the death of my 16-year-old son in 2021. I was honored to write several songs about him and perform them online and across the US, dignifying his memory.

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Music Therapist since 2006. I have additional training in Analytical Music Therapy, involving the symbolic use of music making to work towards bringing meaningful long term change.

As an MT-BC and LCAT, I am so fortunate to be able to offer music therapy and other creative arts modalities into my practice. I have an office space filled with instruments that you don't need any musical experience to explore, just a willingness to see what comes up for you in exploration, whether that's through music listening, imagery that emerges, active improvisation or using music and sounds to express emotion and to access emotion. Music can get to your issues faster than only talk.

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.

Music therapy is the strategic use of music toward a non-musical goal. I am a board-certified music therapist working with music therapy since 9/11. As I advanced my training into a doctoral degree in clinical psychology I have focused on using music therapy for anxiety management. I specialize in musician’s mental health. I have a unique perspective to welcome client’s music into sessions to access their full selves.

I am a board certified music therapist. I have an an undergraduate equivalency in music therapy as well as a Master of Music Therapy degree.

In your music therapy session, you might listen, sing, and play instruments alongside your music therapist. We offer group music therapy services in nursing homes, schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and more. You don’t need a background in music to participate, we welcome everyone!

I am a certified practitioner of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music, or GIM. This is a powerful modality of healing which allows travelers to bypass the conscious, analytical, verbal mind and work directly with the deeper self/unconscious through the language of the unconscious: imagery. The valuable inner gold discovered there is then brought back to the conscious mind and integrated into daily life. In the process of this transformative work, clients may uncover deeply hidden answers
