For many people it's not easy to make the decision to start seeing a therapist.  Our culture and society tell us that we should be able to handle life on our own and not ask for help.  I understand that it's difficult to reach out for assistance.

The truth is that there is no shame or weakness in seeking out help when there is a problem.  We take our car to a mechanic and our taxes to an accountant. Our mental health is no different.

I've tried to make it easier to ask for help by creating a warm and comfortable office space in which to receive therapy.  Clients can access me by phone, email, or text message. My client caseload is purposely kept small so I can guarantee that each person receives the individual care they need.  My schedule is flexible to accommodate early morning as well as evening appointments.

Defining Healing with Music

Healing with music is the clinical use of music to accomplish individualized goals with a therapeutic relationship.  Healing with music can include creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music.  It provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves.  It aids in addressing the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals.

Healing with music is regularly used as a way to help manage stress and cope with difficult situations.  Studies in neuroscience have suggested that music can help the brain rewire itself to learn new skills and/or re-program old pathways into new ones.  Music can't erase old memories, but it can possibly help you to see them from a different perspective.

Does this sound familiar?  Does it feel familiar?  Is this your experience?  You've come to the right place then!  Healing with music can offer some relief.  We can work together to resolve whatever challenges you're dealing with.  Relaxation techniques, stress management, and working through emotional issues are just a few of the ways that can help.  Use the form below for a call back on how healing with music may help, or to schedule your first appointment.
