Integrative Music Psychotherapy

Transformative therapy grounded in your growth & self-discovery

Online appointments available in Vermont, Maryland, and Pennsylvania

I help creative adults feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected move towards clarity and healing using the music they love.

Through a blend of music therapy, somatic work, and depth-oriented psychotherapy, I support adults and young professionals as they care for their nervous system, access inner wisdom, and uncover what matters most to them.

You want to feel confident and grounded…

But instead you’re second guessing everything. Replaying conversations. Scanning for shifts in tone.

You are impressively attuned to everyone else, yet quietly unsure of your own footing.

On the outside, you look capable.

On the inside, it’s a constant hum of pressure:

Don’t be too much.

Don’t disappoint.

Don’t get it wrong.

Creativity is where you exhale

You might not call yourself an artist, musician, actor, or dancer, but you’re a colorful thinker.

You feel most like yourself when creating: cooking, gardening, writing, making playlists, rearranging a space until it feels just right.

You want a therapist with lived experience that gets all of you; the parts you’re proud of, the parts you protect, and the parts you’d rather no one else see.

I use Music, Imagery, and Somatic Awareness to partner with you, going beyond words into the layers of your emotional world. To move through your activating memories, instead of avoiding them, so you can nurture yourself from within. Body, mind, and spirit.
