I specialise in using evidence-based music and counseling approaches to help you build confidence, manage big emotions and cope with life's challenges. You might be looking to cope with chronic illness, depression or anxiety, or to connect better with yourself or someone else. You might want to loosen the impact of trauma on your life, or build confidence. You might be looking for a therapy that goes beyond words and taps into the wisdom of your body and creative soul. I bring 7 years of experience working with people across a range of life experiences, and a dedication to work with you to improve your life.
Music is a gentle and uplifting way to gain insights and supports for so many of life's challenges, and you don't need any musical experience to benefit. Together, we'll explore creative ways to work together. I integrate musical experiences and collaborative reflections using a trauma-informed & relational lens to help you find comfort, ease, insight & joy.
If you're curious to know more about how music therapy could help you, I offer free 15-minute consultations to help you decide. I know it's importance to find the right therapist for you - to feel safe and like there's a connection - so there is no obligation to make an appointment. I would love to hear from you and make a connection, so please do reach out.
