As both a therapist and an individual with lived experience, I am a strong advocate for the effectiveness of music therapy in supporting mental health. Research demonstrates the positive impact of music therapy on individuals with conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorders. My approach is recovery-oriented, providing compassionate support tailored to your healing journey.

For individuals with mental health conditions, Music Therapy can…

. Release significant levels of dopamine, improving mood and affect

. Aid in the difficult transition into and out of inpatient treatment

. Improve cognitive functioning and concentration

. Provide healthy coping mechanisms for personal use

. Provide a safe space for expression of challenging emotions

. Increase feelings of autonomy and control over one’s experiences

. Foster social connection, combating isolation and improving communication skills

. Provide a sense of grounding during periods of anxiety or dissociation

. Improve capacity to function and participate in education and employment
