Music Therapy

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

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

Music has been my best companion throughout my life, consistently connecting me to my best self and to what I need in the moment. I graduated with a Master's degree in Music Therapy in 2012 and have been practicing music therapy ever since, designing music interventions to address a wide range of psychosocial needs.

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.

I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist! Never heard of it? According to the American Music Therapy Association, "Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program," (www.musictherapy.org/about/musictherapy). Simply put, I use musical elements to achieve your goals in therapy. Ask to know more!

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

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.

Music and dance are good coping and self care tools.

I have been a board-certified music therapist since 2011, and love to engage clients in creative therapy skills to improve overall coping capabilities and emotional understanding. This might include music-based mindfulness experiences, songwriting for emotional expression and healthy communication, active-music making for body-brain reset, and other related tools. Music therapy has shown proven benefits to a wide-range of mental health needs, and is adjustable to you and your interests!

I utilize music therapy to enhance emotional expression and healing. With a background in integrating creative therapies into treatment, I use music to help clients explore and express their feelings, manage stress, and improve mental well-being. This approach facilitates emotional release and personal insight, supporting therapeutic goals through a unique and engaging medium that complements traditional treatment methods.

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.

Advanced Professional Graduate Certificate in Music/Expressive Arts Therapies. Extensive work experience as a Music/Expressive Therapist.

What I love about music therapy and the creative arts is its flexibility and adaptability to fit any situation. We will create an environment that promotes connection, expression, and communication. Musical and creative processes offer opportunities to deepen one’s self-examination and reflection. As a result, we hope to gain a sense of clarity and insight into understanding our internal and external worlds.

Certified in music therapy since 1987 and practicing meditation/chanting as well as studying yogic philosophy since 1993, I have combined the elements of these healing practices to form a unique method of therapy: Mindfulness-Based Music Therapy. I specialize in the use of music, sound, silence, and energy-work to produce an experience of pure awareness that results in the absence of thoughts and a spiritual sense of oneness that is essential to healing.

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 Board-Certified Music Therapist. I specialized in music therapy during my graduate work.
