My ideal client is someone who's tired of feeling like they have to have it all figured out before asking for help. They often spend so much energy looking after everyone else that they've forgotten how to care for themselves. They want to understand why they feel the way they do, break patterns that no longer serve them, and feel more at home in their own life. Therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, and not judged, rushed, or spoken for. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and compassion as we make sense of your story together and collaboratively walk through the best next steps forward, together.

No matter who we are, or how far we’ve traveled in this world, there are times when we all feel stuck. During these difficult stretches, we may feel disconnected from the world around us, and from ourselves. This can lead to a sense that we are undeserving of relief or that meaningful change is out of reach. And yet, somehow we find a way to persevere, and we take the brave step of seeking out care and understanding.

Stress highly depletes your energy to deal with problems. When feeling tired, frustrated and hopeless, it can seem like there are no solutions. In a safe, calm environment, where you feel accepted just as you are, you begin to develop self-compassion. By being gentle with yourself, coming from a place of non-judgement, you can attain so much. Trust allows you to open and us to work together to explore what is at the root of the problem. As you explore thoughts and feelings, you become more self-aware. Your energy increases and you become stronger, then able to learn effective coping skills to overcome challenges and to thrive.

How does music therapy work?
A music therapist will begin by assessing the client’s specific needs and getting a sense of their musical ability and interests. Musical training is not required, and clients of all ages can benefit from this type of therapy. The therapist will then make a plan for how to achieve the client’s therapeutic goal(s) using a range of receptive (e.g., listening to a song) and active (e.g., drumming in a group) music therapy techniques.
What are some common music therapy techniques?
Music therapy usually involves listening to music (either live or recorded). Music therapy clients may also make music on popular instruments, such as the piano, guitar, and hand drum, or sing. Sometimes music therapy can include guided imagery. A music therapist may ask clients to improvise on the spot or even compose their own songs. Dancing or moving to music can be an effective intervention to help clients feel more fully grounded in their bodies and remain in the present moment.
How does music therapy help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
Music therapy can be a valuable creative outlet for clients with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have trouble putting their painful feelings into words. Listening to music can be relaxing while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. In addition to its mood-boosting effects, music therapy can help clients build resilience and overcome PTSD symptoms that may interfere with their daily lives.
How long does music therapy take?
Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes. They can be scheduled in advance (for example, once a week) or can be done on an as-needed basis. Some clients will only require a handful of music therapy sessions to achieve their goals, while others may need months or longer, depending on their specific concern.
