Music Therapy in Kensington, MD

Hello. I am glad you are here. My approach integrates the healing power of music and expressive arts into trauma therapy. I believe that the experiences we have in childhood shape who we become as adults. Oftentimes, these early moments of overwhelm, pain, and fear go unresolved becoming embedded in our nervous system. As we grow older, this reeks havoc on our relationships, ability to regulate mood, and experience success. Common struggles among the people who choose to work with me include boundaries and relationship, childhood abuse & neglect, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, sexual trauma, anxiety, and burnout.

Somatic and Sex Therapist. Now, what I’m about to share with you might be uncomfortable to read. If it is, then know this...you did not find us by accident. This was a message you needed.

You might feel like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to connect – unaware of what gets them going and what turns them off. You may be unsatisfied with the type of intimacy you’re having but don’t know how to bring it up. Now, here’s the thing...you are not alone.

My clients come from all walks of life. Some are young and some are seasoned with life's experiences. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals and couples who were struggling with identity issues, mental health issues, addiction issues (including sex, alcohol, drugs, work, porn, food, etc). Typically my clients come to therapy to find relief from their issues or the pain and discomfort their issues are causing them and/or a loved one. They need relief and help with handling their responsibility for the issue and addressing whatever they have the power to handle so that they can continue with a "good" life.
