Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
My Approach
Real. Creative. Empowering
Is your little one too energetic to sit down for a conversation? Do questions make your teen shut down? As a certified music therapist, I know that words aren't the only way to communicate and connect.
When talk therapy isn’t enough by itself, I help kids express their feelings through singing, songwriting, playing instruments and moving their bodies (don't worry—no musical experience is required)!
​
​In all my work, I take on a strengths-based approach, focusing on what my clients already do well to help them navigate challenges with resilience and confidence.
My Background
Training and Experience
I’ve always been drawn to the power of music to connect, transform and uplift. I completed a Master’s degree in Music Therapy to learn how to use my passion to help people grow and heal.
In my journey as a qualifying psychotherapist, I've added a variety of therapeutic tools to my kit. Working in hospitals and hospices, I incorporated CBT and DBT with creative interventions to support people through some of the toughest moments of their lives. In my work with neurodiverse kiddos and youth with disabilities, I found that integrating music with psychotherapy was a powerful way to build confidence, learn coping skills, enhance focus—and have fun doing it.
​
Now, in private practice, I draw daily on those tools to celebrate kids and teens who march to the beat of their own drum, and to help families overcome discord to find their harmony.
