My Story
I began my professional journey as a songwriter, performer, and music educator, captivated by the emotional power of music and its ability to connect people across all walks of life. Feeling like an “outsider” throughout my teen years, music gave me a space to explore my identity and a voice to express myself. Over more than a decade in the music industry, from existential post-show conversations to emotional insight from friends and strangers, I noticed how deeply people responded to music in times of challenge, healing, and transformation.
This insight sparked a new path. My exploration of the human experience through music and songwriting developed into a desire to expand my understanding of the human psyche and help others on a deeper level. I returned to school to study music psychotherapy and earned a master’s degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. Bridging creativity and clinical understanding, I trained extensively in both talk therapy and music therapy, blending traditional psychotherapeutic approaches with the evidence-based therapeutic use of sound and song.
Today, I work as a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Music Therapist, with a focus on 2SLGBTQ+ and neurodiverse communities. My approach to therapy draws from attachment-based, psychodynamic, narrative, emotion-focused, and music therapy modalities. These sessions offer a co-creative, holistic space for clients to explore their inner and interpersonal worlds. Exploration can include self-image, identity, relationship concerns, anxiety, neurodivergence, trauma, grief, or anything else clients wish to bring to sessions.
When I’m not working, I continue to compose original music that reflects themes of human experiences, connection, and social justice.
