- New client starts in 9/1/2026 - I help individuals and couples navigate emotional challenges through therapy that integrates traditional approaches with music and expressive arts. Licensed in both talk therapy and music therapy, I bring over 10 years of experience working with diverse communities across hospitals, outpatient settings, and private practice, working with diverse groups of individuals with their unique challenges in life. My trauma-informed approach blends psychodynamic therapy and CBT to uncover deeper patterns and build practical strategies for meaningful change.
In our sessions, we have the opportunity to also explore different modalities including music, visual arts, storytelling, those creative approaches serve the therapeutic goal. When there is a good match, my clients often describe our work as an efficient and transformative journey.
Additionally, I work with mental health professionals who are interested in exploring and connecting with their creative side. There are many ways to reach the same destination, and I'm privileged to be part of your unique journey.
