I integrate music and visual art to support a variety of individual goals. I work with diverse clientele and specialize, though not exclusively, in working with clients with disabilities.

I am honored to provide my services with deep respect and dedication to my clients, their families, and their communities.

Music Therapy

I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist and accredited Music Teacher.

Music influences movement, cognition, emotion, sensory function, and behavior. Music's impact is linked to its ability to engage multiple neural systems of the brain. Playing or listening to music can stimulate neuroplasticity of the brain.

Music therapy session is active session. I help my clients to improve their level of functioning and quality of life. I use various music experiences and strategies to achieve success in individually tailored measurable treatment goals and objectives.

Most often I work on speech and language, pre-writing skills, fine and gross motor skills, emotional release, attention, social skills, memory, executive functions and many others.

Any age.

Individual, group, in person, online. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly.

Art Exploration

I am an accredited Art Teacher and a certified Art therapist.

Students of any age enjoy creating art and learning about it's different forms, materials, techniques and history. I customize my teaching to the abilities and interests. Art can be a powerful and therapeutic tool to create something beautiful, release emotions, stimulate senses and work on fine motor skills and spatial awareness. It is great tool for sensory integration.

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly.

Sound Healing

I received Level 1 and Level 2 Sound Healing practitioner certification from Sound Healing Academy International.

Sound healing (also called sound therapy, sound bath and vibrational therapy) is a safe and non-invasive therapeutic practice that uses the principles of resonance and entrainment when sound vibrations from voice and pure acoustic instruments like Tibetan or crystal bowls, tuning forks, gongs and chimes are used to promote relaxation and healing. It aims to balance the body, mind, and spirit, often leading to reduced stress, pain, better sleep and improved emotional well-being.

Any age

Individual or group

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or special occasions.
