Music Therapy

As a music therapist I specialise in Transpersonal Archetypal Music Therapy, integrating the wisdom of natural cycles into the therapeutic space.

In music therapy, music is used as a tool and in relationship with a therapist to help with self expression where words fail.

As a music therapist I specialise in Transpersonal Archetypal Music Therapy, integrating the wisdom of natural cycles into the therapeutic space.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy and 14 years of experience using music to help clients achieve their goals. Music can be used in many ways to enhance the work done in traditional talk therapy, both inside the therapy session and in one's daily life.

I have a master's degree in music therapy and am board-certified, meaning I use music based interventions to help you access your psyche, process changes, and explore meaning for yourself.

Music has a unique way of interacting with the brain in order to achieve non-musical goals in just about any domain. It is an evidence-based practice and can often be the missing puzzle piece when addressing a problem or finding a solution. You do not need to be skilled in music in order to benefit from music therapy, nor is musical training the intended outcome. We’ll work together to create a treatment plan that harnesses the power of music to help you reach your goals.

I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist. I specialized in music therapy during my graduate work.

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Music Therapist since 2006. I have additional training in Analytical Music Therapy, involving the symbolic use of music making to work towards bringing meaningful long term change.

I have a master's degree and board certification in music therapy, and have practiced music therapy since 2010. I have experience working in medical, hospice, and mental health settings. I now integrate music therapy into my private work with clients, using virtual methods including music listening and analysis, songwriting, development of music coping skills, and music imagery and relaxation.

Music therapy is a powerful medium. Unique outcomes are possible. In music therapy, each individual is provided support and encouragement in the acquisition of new skills and abilities. Because music touches each person in so many different ways, participation in music therapy offers opportunities for learning, creativity and expression that may be significantly different from more traditional therapeutic approaches.

At Real Psychiatric Services, music therapy is an integral component of the comprehensive treatment approach. This therapy is used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities to promote emotional health, help patients express feelings, and enhance their overall well-being.

While I love to talk and listen to you talk, there are times in which language doesn't suffice. In these moments, music can offer unique outlets for expression and communication. I have worked with people of every musical ability, from those that have never touched an instrument, to seasoned performers. If you find music to be soothing, or your identity is reflected in the music you listen to, I will find ways to incorporate it in sessions to provide mental relief.

I have been a board-certified music therapist since 2011, and love to engage clients in creative therapy skills to improve overall coping capabilities and emotional understanding. This might include music-based mindfulness experiences, songwriting for emotional expression and healthy communication, active-music making for body-brain reset, and other related tools. Music therapy has shown proven benefits to a wide-range of mental health needs, and is adjustable to you and your interests!

Music Therapy is the evidence-based use of music and musical experiences to enhance quality of life. I have been a board certified Music Therapist for over 15 years, and have adapted appropriate techniques for use online. Not all of my sessions are Music Therapy centered, but this is a powerful intervention for those who might be interested in this specialty.

Music and dance are good coping and self care tools.
