I provide empathy & compassion to create a safe space for people to heal. Together we create a therapeutic relationship that allows for creativity & reflection.

I focus on psycho-somatic practices to bring balance into the lives of my clients.

I am a Jungian-informed, credentialed music therapist who has been working in the mental health field for 10 years. I believe that the most effective therapist serves as a guide to help participants connect to their innermost thoughts, feelings, and values. I am interested in empowering participants to discover and understand their unique qualities so that they may lead lives of meaning. I utilize the therapeutic relationship to explore attachment patterns in order to help participants understand their own relational adaptations and needs.

Emotions tend to be at their root of what concerns us. The fashion we act when our feelings are something we deny generally causes our dominant issues: depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness. With reflection and foundational understanding we can begin growing towards a better life every day.

Stress-related health issues ? Overworking to get ahead yet falling further behind in relationships ? My roots of many years in the medical field as a digestive disease and bariatric nutritionist taught me that mis-managed stress(food, drink, media ,substance, overwork) ravages our bodies and our relationships. But.... can be turned around! I have helped countless individuals and couples change problematic thoughts, destructive behavior patterns to improve relationships and health. Sharing your fears and story with someone who understands your medical health, genetics, and self-care will provide a holistic solution.
