My most important belief is that a human being is more than the body in which it resides. As a music therapist, I will play an increasingly key role in physical and psychological healing and I strive to provide opportunities for the clients to use music to improve their well-being, to help people to adjust to life changes, feel less anxious or depressed, and generally experience clearer thinking and more positive emotions."

Older Adults, Medical and Teens
Our language is full of beautiful idioms such as "striking a chord" and "resonating" with someone. This is no coincidence. I believe music creates a bridge of understanding and sharing of emotion and life-experience between therapist and listener. This is what I strive for in every session: an authentic connection through the sharing of sound."
