Addiction and its accompanying issues make life a struggle for both the client and for those who love them. Those in active addiction intuitively know there is a gap between the life they're demonstrating and the possibilities their potential affords - if they could only get out of their own way. My methods promote profound fundamental change: the shedding of self-destructive attributes, the definition of a clear, compelling vision for the future, and the tools clients need to implement strategies that will enable them to become the best possible version of themselves.

Something feels off — but you can't quite put it into words. Maybe it's a heaviness you carry into every room, a pattern you keep repeating, or a sense of being disconnected from yourself or the people around you. You've tried to think your way through it or talk your way through it, but nothing is actually changing. I work with adults who feel stuck in exactly that place — overwhelmed, shut down, or emotionally tangled — and need a way into their experience that doesn't rely on forcing words.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and creative modalities like Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), music therapy, and mandala drawing, I help clients access emotion, strengthen attachment bonds, and move through stuck patterns toward deeper connection and healing.
Relationships can feel stuck, painful, and hard to untangle — especially when the same patterns keep repeating or something important has been broken. Whether you're working through conflict, rebuilding after infidelity, navigating divorce, or trying to understand your own patterns, this work matters. I specialize in relationships in all their complexity — couples, LGBTQ+ partnerships, polyamorous and non-traditional structures, and individuals exploring how they connect and love.

I came into the therapy profession as a second career. I hold a PhD in musicology and spent my earlier years working as a musician and music teacher/professor. I find that many of the same skills I used in music/teaching also apply to therapy. Each individual's goals and path toward healing and growing are unique, and I see my job as being a guide on that path. I believe clients already have the answers inside, and our work together is to uncover the truth that lives within. I lean heavily on understanding family systems and historical patterns that shaped who we are as we work together to decide who we can become.

Life is a journey that occasionally can become difficult, and even painful. Our emotions can be overwhelming, disconnected, or confusing. Our relationships can become challenging and unfulfilling. We can discover we aren't the person we ultimately hope to be. I desire to help people make sense of their struggles and for them to know they aren't alone in the challenges and suffering life brings. Through sincere interest, deep listening, and a devoted presence, my hope is that therapy can be a place to make peace with the past, find renewed joy and richness in the present, and know hope and healing for the future to come.

Immediate Availability! My practice is built on the belief that the greatest version of yourself is already within reach, yet many people become stuck by internal "blockers." These obstacles aren't a reflection of capability, but often the result of living out an outdated narrative—a story either written by past experiences or by others' expectations. I guide teens and adults in re-authoring their life story to unlock unique potential. This process moves beyond merely treating symptoms; we identify the core issue that is preventing performance, growth, and genuine self-discovery. The time to write your own story is now.

Music Therapy
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.
