I have worked as a Registered Music Therapist since 2006, and am passionate about helping children and adults reach their potential and express themselves through music.
I have worked predominantly in the fields of early intervention with families who have preschool children with disabilities or developmental delays, with school aged children with learning needs and in community-based mental health settings with adults.
I love building strong relationships with my clients and using the gift of music to help them achieve their goals. As a mother of two school aged children, I am passionate about supporting families.
As well as seeking to continually grow my knowledge and skills through professional development, I am an experienced supervisor of music therapy students and Registered Music Therapists.
