Music is everything for you. Whether you are a musician, songwriter, dancer, or just have a deep connection to the music you listen to, music has always been there. Music catches you, meets you where you're at, helps you make sense of the world around you. Whether you're a young person exploring your identity, LGBTQIA+, autistic/neurodivergent, etc.; a young adult processing complex trauma or grief; or you're a new parent navigating role changes inherent to parenthood and postpartum mental health... music therapy can help you as you find your way (back) to your most authentic self.
As a board-certified music therapist, my role is to encourage you to meet yourself in the music. This may look like making music through improvisation, songwriting/beat creation, or re-creating beloved songs; or diving into how you use music for emotion regulation and meaning making in your life.
Maybe you're a creative person with a deep love for your pristinely put together playlists. Maybe you're a musician who eats and breathes music. Maybe you're tired of just talking about your mental health for goodness' sake. Maybe you're just curious. Your curiosity is welcome here! Tell me your story - let's make meaning in the music and grow together.
