I have a passion for music and using it to connect with people. Using music gives us the opportunity to create something beautiful from the pain. I enjoy working mainly with adults, decreasing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I also work with patients to improve self-esteem, improve relaxation skills, develop coping skills, or learn an instrument. The interventions I use include songwriting, lyric analysis, guided visualization meditations, music lessons, improvisation, singing, music-assisted relaxation, and sometimes just listening to music.
