You've decided you're ready for therapy! I'm so glad you're here. I am a trauma-informed music psychotherapist looking to work with folks to provide body positive music psychotherapy from a Health at Every Size perspective. Wouldn't it be great if you felt less anxious, less depressed and maybe even - dare I say it - joyful sometimes? I believe therapy isn't only about eliminating the hard stuff, but also celebrating the good stuff.

I am a music psychotherapist and creative arts therapist. This means that in addition to traditional talk therapy we can use musical tools to enhance the therapeutic process. This can look like singing together or writing a song to express your feelings, playing a drum or listening to a meaningful song.

Maybe you're ready to change your relationship with the body you live in now. Maybe you're working on a life transition. Maybe you want to talk to someone LGBTQ+ aligned who knows what it's like to feel anxious. Whatever you're looking to work on, I am here to be your therapist. I have a warm and gentle approach that is also direct and honest.
