About Me
MY BACKGROUND
With a passion for music and a drive to help others, I have dedicated my career to becoming a Music Therapist with expertise in behavior and forensic mental health. I have joyously found and carefully crafted my life path to help others through music. Through my experience as an accomplished musician, my education with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Music Therapy, experience working with those with high-support needs developmental disabilities, and working with those who have serious mental illness, I am more than prepared to gracefully show up in any situation, meet others where they are at, and create a personalized Music Therapy experience for my clients. I strive to create excellent treatment plans that incorporate music to improve the physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being of those I work with.
