About Me: Neuro-Affirming music therapy for children and teens.

I am a board-certifed music therapist (CBMT: #16398) who specializes in neurodivergence and co-occurring mental health concerns. I believe that innately everyone is musical and anyone who wants to make music has every right to. As a music therapist, I am trained to adapt instruments and create interventions to encourage self-expression, self-advocacy, and build skills that translate to activities for daily living. I am heavily influenced by Nordoff-Robbins, DIR/Floortime, Sprouting Melodies, and Neurologic Music Therapy. I enjoy seeing a child, tween, or teen thrive and find joy in creating music, all while secondarily targeting development.

When you work with me, we will focus on:

Building rapport, self-advocacy and communication through preferred and improvisational music

Adapting musical instruments to target specific goals (like fine or gross motor)

Working with individual differences to create a safe sensory environment and encouraging exploration.
