What should a new client know about working with you?
At times, you may feel stuck in the middle of someone else’s book, movie, or song. Your voice, while big on the inside, is trapped and when it does come out feels small with little effect on the world around you. Merely surviving, you know something has to change in order to find peace in life. However, you struggle to figure out what has to change or even where to start.
Counseling provides a space to process life experiences, understand their meaning and significance, and create action plans for tangible growth. I honor each person’s uniqueness and start with connecting to your story through listening empathetically.
In time, your internal and external worlds will align to help you feel grounded and bloom where you are planted. At every stage of life development, we need to address our mental health and wellbeing each day.
As a counselor and music therapist, I have worked with people across the lifespan and understand how needs transform. I am proud to support clients no matter their age and will tailor my approach to align with individual differences.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a Board Certified Music Therapist, I incorporate creative approaches to externalize thoughts and emotions that are difficult to put into words alone. I will help you redefine the stories you tell about your lived experiences and construct a purpose-driven life that balances freedom and responsibility. I strive to empower clients to thrive through creatively navigating life’s challenges and building resiliency.
