Right from when I was a little girl, I have enjoyed spending time listening to people’s stories. Most of my adult life I have spent as an accountant. However, I found that my true passion was always sitting with clients and not behind a computer. I learned early on that the accounting relationship with clients wasn’t always about numbers. Through additional coursework and involvement in memberships, committees, and boards, I have been able to be a part of facilitating change and growth within the community.

Do you have a child that struggles to understand their own emotions? Do they feel stuck in a moment or feeling that they can’t move past? Has this stopped them from relating to and finding connection with the people in your life? Maybe your child has tried counselling before but found that talking alone didn’t bring the healing or relief they needed. The holistic approach of music therapy can help to overcome emotional pain, disconnect, and numbness, and can increase a sense of purpose in the world. My unique approach blends talk therapy with body-based methods of somatic and music therapy to support the body-mind connection.

I specialize in helping individuals zoom out to see the true source of their stuckness and inability to attain goals. This 'not so obvious' barrier can manifest in many areas of your life; relationships, career goals, or attaining a healthy relationship with food. Life is certainly not all about being happy all of the time, but you should be waking up feeling an incredible sense of gratitude and contentment for the type of life you live now, but also feeling excited about what is yet to come. In simple terms, I coach individuals to go from good to great and have a special love for working with business owners and entrepreneurs.
