Healing the world with music, one song at a time.
MYÂ PHILOSOPHY
My personal journey has taught me that we all come into this world with purpose. For some of us, that purpose might not be apparent or even be shadowed by disabilities. However that does not preclude the fact we all have a special place in the world. Every individual in the world is connected to one another in some way, like notes in a music score. Together we create the lovely song called life.
I used a person-centered approach to help individuals develop positive changes that will empower them towards self-actualization. I will bring my most genuine and empathic self to each session to build trust and rapport that lays the foundation for therapeutic happening.
My sessions prioritize the needs of the client. This way, the client’s strength and needs drive the development of interventions. I create an environment in which the clients feel safe and motivated to express themselves and participate in enjoyable and creative music-based clinical interventions.
​
I aim to empower my clients to live every day to the fullest. I aim to heal the world, one song at a time.
MUSIC THERAPY ASSESSMENTS
Music therapy creates a safe and pleasant environment that enables individual to demonstrate their skills, competencies, and potentials. Music therapists can assess a person who has difficulty complying with other forms of standardized assessments. Examples include children who with short attention spans, individuals who are demonstrating significant distress, those in neurorehabilitation who fail to respond to other stimuli, and cognitively compromised older adults.
