I’ve been developing my practice of person centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive music therapy for over 20 years. I facilitate music and verbal experiences within a therapeutic relationship to support people of all ages as they explore their strengths, needs, and goals. I’ve worked with people working on a variety of goals with a focus on mental illness, substance use disorders, trauma, end of life, and neurological impairments. I’ve been privileged to bear witness to their courage, strength, and hope as they work towards increased wellness and wholeness. I play guitar, bass guitar, violin, piano, drums, and I sing. I commit to learning about how I benefit from oppressive systems, how they affect the people I work with, and how that impacts the therapy process. Covid-19 precautions include vaccination, masking, social distancing, outdoor and telehealth when necessary. Instruments and materials are cleaned after every use.

Therapy Sessions
Where: Individual and group sessions are available in facilities, and via telehealth. See more about telehealth here.
Who: Anyone can take part in music therapy sessions regardless of experience or musical training. Music therapy may benefit people of all ages and abilities. Avenues of exploration and support are person centered, with an emphasis on strengths and culture.
Why: Goals are explored and determined by the persons receiving services and may address all areas of health and wellness. Common areas of focus include recovering from trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, and grief, while moving towards feelings of empowerment, hope, and motivation while developing spirituality, interpersonal relationships, and self care skills.
How: Music therapy experiences include song writing, music making, improvising, recording, lyric analysis, listening, making playlists, and singing. Music is often used to support relaxation and movement exercises. Music therapists are trained in verbal interventions and encorprating other creative modalities. All genres of music may be used with an emphasis on preferred music.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is available for individuals and groups with Audrey Hausig, MMT, MT-BC. I’ve been providing clinical supervision for two decades and I use both verbal and creative techniques to explore counter transference, professional goals, and to develop self care routines. I love sharing resources, ideas for music experiences, and strategies for enacting change to facility policies. I apply a humanistic, strength-based, abolitionist perspective both to looking at clinical work and in clinical supervision. I work through a social justice lens and I strive to listen deeply and openly.
