Identifying and expressing your emotional experience can be difficult. As a Creative Arts Therapist, Music Therapist, and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor, I offer talk therapy with the option of using creative arts tools to assist you in your process. I work from a supportive and psychodynamic approach, letting the client's needs be the guide. I have 15 years experience with 13 years working in inpatient psychiatry, providing therapy for people in acute mental health crises and 2 years managing the therapy team on 5 units. Together we can work towards your goals as you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
The creative arts can be an avenue to more easily access, organize, and express feelings in a safe containing environment. It is optional in our sessions. Through verbal work, music listening, lyric analysis, making music, meditation, or other artistic means, we can explore what arises while helping you release and gain insight into your struggles.
You do not need to be a musician to see a music therapist. Music has a strong power to evoke memories, feelings, physical reactions, and subconscious material. I am here to support you in whichever way you to choose to speak even if you choose to simply talk. If you are curious about this work, feel free to contact me.
