My client population includes youth to senior age group with a variety of diagnoses, including Autism, Acquired Brain Injury, Alzheimer's/Dementias, Palliative care, PTSD and general wellness. No musical training is required and clients are encouraged to engage in therapeutic song-writing, vocal/instrumental improvisation, listening & analysis and performance. Clients want to ignite their creativity in order to have resources to deal with mental health challenges and for general mental/emotional/spiritual well-being. Reconnect with the most imaginative part of yourself for access to creative solutions to your own healing.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with Music Therapist Accreditation (MTA). I use music as a resource for connection, cognitive stimulation and emotional processing. I offer a self-guided music-focusing experience called Resonance And Renewal. Connect with your innate inner wisdom and access your creativity.
My background is in client-centred, analytic methods of psychotherapy and I have personal experience engaging in depth psychotherapy. I choose to practice with regular clinical and peer supervision and I understand the potential for arts-based therapies to enhance creativity and therefore creative solutions to our challenges.

Why do the same patterns keep showing up in your life—even when you know better? Because insight alone doesn't create change. Therapy helps you understand your patterns, process unresolved emotions your nervous system is still carrying, build healthier habits, and create lasting change—so you can feel calmer, more confident, and more connected.
