About

I’m hoping I can share things that will be relevant to you and what you’d like to know.

My Background:

My career started with receiving my bachelor degree in music therapy from Alverno College in 2015. Music is everything to me. It’s part of who I am and a support throughout my whole life. Understanding how it helped me, I knew I needed to share it’s healing capacity with others. I’ve used music therapy in many settings such as the NICU, child and adult medical, with neurodivergent folks, and child and adult mental health groups.

In 2024 I completed my master’s degree in counseling from Alverno College. My career has led me to providing traditional talk therapy with pregnant and postpartum (perinatal) folks, children and teens, substance use, and couples.

My Approach:

I believe in helping you find the the tools that already exist within yourself to overcome life’s stressors. I love working with your strengths and using it as a strategy to help. Clients have described me as chill, colleagues say I’m calm. I prioritize being a steady support for my clients, while also challenging statements when the time is right. I am known for adding a little humor (when appropriate) from time to time.

I use ACT- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy- as my primary framework. We look to your values to guide your choices and work towards building a life that aligns with what you want to see. It does not take away the negative or force positivity, it sees and accepts that both can be present. I also take from parts work and existentialism to inform my work.

Sometimes, the words are just not there, but the feeling needs to come out. Using music therapy is another tool I can provide to help build deeper insight and express the uncommunicable.
