After having spent over 35 years in global marketing of medical diagnostics and devices, I feel I have found my true calling as a mental health counselor/music therapist where I bring a naturally empathetic nature and variety of lived experiences to my practice. I have traveled and/or lived globally and studied foreign languages and cultures at the undergraduate level. I am a humanist and believe everyone has something to offer this world.
I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach focused on helping clients uncover personal resources and strengths, and to develop ways of coping with life's challenges. I have training and experience in a wide variety of mental health counseling theories and rely most heavily on CBT, DBT, ERT and expressive therapy - specialization in clinical music therapy. I offer both in-person and telehealth, and individual and group therapy.
Introduction of counselor -- credentials, experience, approaches to therapy, guidelines for how to get the most out of sessions. Discussion of client's goals for therapy.
