What are the specialties/populations you have the most experience with?
I enjoy working with clients of all ages and diagnoses. I find much fulfillment working with toddlers through teenagers as they use music to support their identity development. I also love to help families find ways to connect with and support their loved one through music.
What brings you joy in the work that you do and/or why did you decide to become a creative arts therapist?
I grew up in a very musical household and found that music was something that brought me joy. When I saw there was a career where I could use my talents to help others, I knew it was the perfect fit for me!
What is a fun fact about you?
I love singing in many settings and I have actually sung in a glacier in Iceland! The acoustics were amazing and it is something I will never forget!
