ABOUT ME
I am a passionate music therapist dedicated to helping children thrive through the power of music. I graduated from Kings University in Edmonton, Alberta, with a double major in Psychology and Music in 2008, and from Capilano University in North Vancouver, British Columbia, with a Bachelor’s in Music Therapy in 2013. With experience in daycares, practicums, and internships, I went on to establish my own practice, where I support children in building confidence, developing skills, and discovering their strengths through music.
Outside of my work, I enjoy making and playing music, as well as spending time with my husband, two daughters, and our dog. I also value creativity through crafts and embroidery, and I love being outdoors—gardening, hiking, and camping with my family. 
WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
“Music therapy is a discipline in which Certified Music Therapists (MTAs) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Music therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains.”
– Canadian Association of Music Therapists
In my practice, I use music as a tool to change the lives of children. Music has the ability to target many developmental goals and is powerful, positive, and adaptable, meeting the challenges and abilities of each child. Every session is tailored to what the child needs in the moment, creating meaningful experiences that promote growth, confidence, and self-expression.
SERVICES
Individual Music Therapy Sessions
Individual music therapy sessions are tailored to meet the unique goals and needs of each child. Sessions are designed to support development across cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and self-expression domains.
Sessions can take place:
- In the home – providing a familiar and comfortable environment for your child.
- At educational or daycare sites – supporting school or program-based goals.
- In private practice – offering a focused, therapeutic setting.
Each session is carefully planned to engage the child through music, promoting growth, confidence, and skill development in a fun and supportive environment.
Group Music Therapy Sessions
Group music therapy sessions focus on shared developmental goals while encouraging children to connect, communicate, and grow together. Through music-making, children have the opportunity to build social skills, increase communication, and develop confidence in a fun and supportive environment.
Group sessions can be held in educational or daycare settings as well as in private practice. I also occasionally offer special group programs, which I post about on my social media—so keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities!
