Your decision to enter therapy is an act of self-compassion, which demands that I meet you with the utmost respect and commitment to your growth and self-actualization. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are trying to find a better way of approaching life's challenges, gaining insight into patterns and behaviors, developing healthy coping strategies, and breaking down barriers to creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I approach therapy from humanistic, existential, and client centered perspectives using an integration of music, talk therapies, breath & body awareness, and sound meditations.
I am a licensed creative arts therapist and board-certified music therapist with 20 years of clinical experience in outpatient, inpatient, and community-based mental health settings. I have experience working with a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationships, addiction, and life changes/transitions.
Finding the right therapist to support you is not always easy and I wish you all the best in your search. I invite you to reach out to me for a free 20-minute consultation to see how a holistic approach to therapy, allowing for a full integration of your emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being, may work for you.
