Are you struggling with anxiety or self-doubt? Do you ever feel like your emotions control you? Constantly worried about the future or stuck in the past? Lost touch with your creative side (or perhaps you were never allowed to explore it in the first place?) You aren’t alone, and I want to help you feel grounded, confident, and more present in your own life. I’m Elisha: I specialize in music therapy for adults who want to ease anxiety, improve self-esteem, and reignite creativity through a holistic lens. My therapeutic approach is authentic, bold, intuitive, and creative. I am committed to anti-oppressive and inclusive practice.
I'm a nationally Board-Certified Music Therapist with 10 years of experience providing music therapy. Music therapy is a holistic and creative therapy that uses music in addition to the therapeutic relationship and talk-based techniques to help you meet your health and wellness goals. It is an experiential therapy that supports creative self-expression.
My approach is warm, trauma-informed, attentive, person-centered, and rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. Please note that as a music therapist I cannot provide mental health assessment or diagnosis. I can provide music therapy as a supportive and specialized form of treatment. To learn more about my approach, visit my website.

When we work together, you can expect to feel heard and supported. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to help you feel better. I use music as part of the therapeutic process to help you explore and process experiences and emotions. When helpful, we can explore other healing modalities such as mindfulness, meditation, and nature.

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know each other. We'll begin to explore your story, what brought you to therapy, and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. The first session is intentionally a bit longer to give us time to chat and begin exploring music therapy and mindfulness interventions. After that, I will put together a treatment plan with your goals in mind.
