Are you or your child struggling? Are you concerned about handling your emotions? Does your child have difficulty regulating their emotions, controlling anger, or having social difficulties? Perhaps you are worried about how your child is coping with recent changes in the family, such as separation or divorce?

You don’t have to be alone! Parenting is the most invested relationship one can partake in. There are many challenges involved in guiding little people towards becoming adults and life can force families to face events that impact children's ability to function successfully within their daily environments.

As a clinician with an integrative approach, I specialize in expressive arts therapies such as music therapy and play therapy. Music can adapt to whatever you are experiencing, and then evolve with you as you begin to heal and grow. Music therapy is a great choice for adults too, especially for those who are finding it difficult to put their feelings into words. Music can evoke our deepest emotions, help us to express what it is we are feeling, and gently soothe our troubled hearts and minds.

Together, in our sessions, we will discover creative and accessible ways to work towards and cope with the changes that you wish to make as you work towards positive mental health. Whether you’re a child or a child-at-heart, I look forward to working with you to support your healing.

Here is my plan:

  1. In the first session/s - I will do everything I can to understand your story, the pain you have experienced to get to where you are, and to know what it is that you are struggling with right now.

  2. Together we will agree on what is the most important to focus on, to find ways to ease the pain, to work through the confusion, and to create a plan to move forward.

  3. I will check with you to find out what is helping and what is not.

I will continue to review your goals and the direction of therapy to make sure the work we are doing together is getting you to where you want to go.
