Therapy

I believe therapy should be as individualized as the people seeking help. For one person, this could mean talking about challenges and solutions. For another it could mean using guided visualizations and music to address a stressful life situation. I work collaboratively with clients to find the most effective approach for their unique needs and situation.

With more than twenty years of experience, I offer therapy to people of all ages to address emotional and/or physical difficulties. Specific challenges might include:
  • Anxiety and stress management
  • Depression
  • Pain management
  • Adjustment to medical illness or disability
  • Relationship problems
  • Personal growth/Life transitions
  • Grief and loss issues

  • Credentials and Qualifications

  • PhD in Conflict Transformation and Music
  • Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
  • Music Therapist – Board Certified

  • While I do not adhere to one therapeutic approach, the following models and tools influence my work:
    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    • Mindfulness practices
    • Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
    • Buddhist Psychology
    • Solution-Focused Therapy
    • Guided Imagery
    • Music Therapy (one does not need to be a musician to benefit from music therapy)
