As a music therapist and psychodramatist, I support and foster my clients' innate spontaneity and creativity, which are powerful resources for growth, change, and healing. In my 20 years of clinical work, I have extensive experience helping children, teens, and adults who are coping with difficult family situations, children and teens who have experienced trauma, and children and teens with autism spectrum disorder or other neurodevelopmental disabilities. My practice also includes work with adults who are seeking to develop new alternatives for living, wanting to break free from old, unhealthy patterns that are no longer helpful.
In music therapy, it is through musical engagement and musical relationships that develop between myself and my clients that change, growth, and healing occur. Music has both structure and flexibility, it closely mirrors human emotion, and it provides a meaningful framework for nonverbal expression that helps build capacities for communication.
In addition to the incorporation of both active and receptive musical experiences, I support the growth of my clients through role play and other action-oriented techniques that are grounded in psychodramatic theory. No prior musical or dramatic experience is needed to benefit from these creative approaches to therapy.
