I am a performer and a music therapist. I have worked with people of all ages, from the youngest children to the elderly. Music is a powerful healing force.
Drawing on my own creative endeavors, I am well suited to help artists in all genres with their pursuits.
As a music therapist for 20 years, I have extensive experience working with children, including those with a broad range of special needs, pre-school and school age children, in groups and individually, in schools, community centers and my private office setting. I use music, talk and play therapy to help engage and motivate them, as well as support and guide their parents. For more information please go to the tab titled.: work with children.
Another area of specialty is my use of music therapy with people in varying stages of dementia. Clients respond to my multifaceted approach as I go beyond the verbal into the non verbal cues, by tuning into the intent, energy and spirit of their efforts to communicate and express themselves, I help ciients become engaged in the present moment. Music is a wonderfully accessible bridge for this process.
Lastly, drawing on my own creative endeavors, I am also well suited to help artists in all genres with their pursuits.
