Music therapy is intended for children, teens and adults who have a strong connection to music, play and art, and who believe that starting with their creativity and strengths can help create therapeutic change.

I am all about healing from childhood suffering and being set free through the work we do in psychotherapy. If you suffer from depression and anxiety, behavior problems, or substance use, you may be held back by underlying issues, by unprocessed trauma. Current stressors could be triggering you repeatedly and also affecting your relationships or your career. Since you are viewing therapist profiles, it looks like it's time to do something about it.

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison talking about his attempts to invent the light bulb. At times we feel that we are failing. In our relationships, our jobs, day-to-day struggles or life itself. However, often our so-called "failed attempts" are crucial steps towards increased well-being and healing. In more than 12 years as a marital and family therapist I have been continuously humbled by clients' creativity, resilience and curiosity in bringing about that healing.

Through the experiences and insights gained in session you will be able to make contact with the different layers of your authentic self and begin to live a full and satisfying life.
