Therapy
You need some support. You want to make a change in your life. You want to shift energies out of old patterns and into new interests that align with your values. Maybe therapy can help.
You have options.
Individual therapy
I offer weekly and biweekly 60-90 minute individual therapy sessions on a sliding scale via Telehealth/Zoom to New York State residents. I am able to see residents of select states and countries depending on licensing regulations - reach out to inquire. Together we’ll create your personalized therapy guide to meet your needs and goals, on a timeline that makes sense for you, and on a budget that doesn’t burden you.
I'm a trauma-informed, humanistic, person-centered, strengths-based, music psychotherapist with extensive experience working with people of various ages, backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, genders, and ethnicities. I have worked in medical hospitals, psychiatric inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and schools/programs for neurodiverse individuals ages 3-21.
I use traditional talk therapy, music psychotherapy, EMDR, and polyvagal theory/body work. In music psychotherapy, we can use active musical interventions (no musical experience required!) like improvisation, songwriting, and recording to work towards your goals. I think it’s important to allow space for humor, creativity, a focus on your strengths, current challenges, a collaborative process, and a clarity about what is being worked on in therapy.
Here are my profiles on:
Group therapy
Group therapy can be just as effective as individual therapy with the additional benefit of greater interpersonal engagement and feedback. I am licensed to provide group therapy to New York state residents and residents of select states and countries depending on licensing regulations of your particular location - reach out to inquire. Groups are scheduled for 10 weeks, so if a group is already at capacity you can be added to the waiting list for the next group. All groups are provided via Telehealth/Zoom.
To sign up for a group, read the group descriptions below and click on “Fill out an interest form” link to submit a request to join a group. Submitting an interest form does not guarantee entrance to a group, but I will send you a response within 1-2 weeks. It is possible to join more than one group.
To learn more about a given group, click “Schedule a free consultation,” select “Group Therapy,” and include which group or groups you’re interested in joining in the “Message” box. During the consultation we can discuss the group in more detail, along with your therapy goals, and determine if it’s a good fit.
