Certified Music Therapist

Welcome to MindFully

A client-centered, holistic approach to mental wellness






I specialize in supporting tweens, teens, and adults' mental wellbeing. Other than being a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Music Therapist, I am also a musician and yoga instructor who strongly believes in the healing power of music and mindfulness for people at all ages. 

My approach is all about empowerment and collaboration - my role as a therapist is to support you by igniting your inner strength, so you could feel empowered as you work towards your goals. Whether you are going through a difficult time in life, experiencing mental health challenges, or hoping to optimize your overall wellbeing, I invite you to reach out and I hope to be a part of your unique wellness journey. 

MindFully Therapy Services was founded with a vision to provide an alternative take on conventional talk therapy through integrating
music and/or mindfulness into your therapeutic journey.

 

Our Take on Therapy

Starting therapy does not have to feel intimidating - MindFully is all about creativity and collaboration. Having the option to add in music and/or mindfulness into therapy, our goal is to provide individualized care tailored to the unique goals and needs of each client.

Mindfulness-based Approach

Mindfulness techniques are integrated into traditional talk therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance to enhance emotional resilience. ​This approach can be helpful for those looking to:

  • expand coping strategies for emotional regulation

  • reduce anxiety

  • promote relaxation

  • work on self-acceptance

​

*Mindfulness-based activities may also be combined with music to provide a creative option for clients to experience mindfulness in a non-traditional way.

Music Therapy at MindFully Therapy Services

Music Psychotherapy

Music provides an alternative way of self-expression. Clients may engage in a variety of music therapy interventions including:​

There is absolutely no prior musical experience required to engage in such interventions; music is more about providing an alternative way for creative self-expression and gaining deeper insights about our feelings.
