I am a music therapist who believes in each person’s innate musicality and recognises each person’s musical and creative core. I believe we are all resilient and resourceful but that many forces in the world, including racism, sexism, ableism, classism, colonialism, capitalism, and more, consistently try to disconnect us from our inner power and the power of our collective communities. I believe strongly in the capacity of music in therapy to restore this connection, empowering us to access our authentic musicality and creativity and our buried resilience. I am here to support your healing in the way that feels best for you.
In online music therapy we can employ a variety of approaches and see what suits you best: some clients prefer something more receptive; or experimenting with song- or poetry-writing; or musical play; or a mix of all of the above. It may be relevant to note that because we will work online, there does tend to be a good amount of talking during sessions.
If you're looking for a dedicated space where you can be supported by a music therapist in connecting with your musical, creative, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, cultural, and embodied self and soul through music and creativity, our anti-oppressive, empowerment-based and relational-cultural approach may be what you need. We see you for who you are!
