Life seems intense, overwhelming, or stressful right now. Fear, anger, and exhaustion are familiar emotions. Your parent/boss/spouse just doesn't get it and you don't know how to explain it to them.

Brings six years of music therapy experience into work as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
Many clients are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Common concerns include trauma, ADHD, burnout, relationship conflict, grief, and major life transitions. Often, there is a desire for clarity and relief without oversimplifying experiences or forcing premature solutions. The goal is not self-correction, but understanding—making sense of how current patterns formed and deciding what kinds of change are worth the cost.

Something feels off and you can't quite name it.
Maybe it's the anxiety that shows up without warning, tightening your chest before you even know why. Or the nagging sense that you're going through the motions, disconnected from yourself and the life you thought you'd be living by now. You might recognize the patterns: the self-doubt, the self-sabotage, the same loops playing out no matter how hard you try to break free. And you wonder why knowing about them isn't enough to change them.
You're not broken. But you may be carrying more than you've had real support to process.

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.
