I provided music therapy to the Vets to address a wide range of areas, including PTSD, dementia and hospice, physical rehabilitation, and mental health. I strive to create an environment during sessions for music to impact my clients physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Aside from work, I spend time with my community of family and friends, explore new places, and enjoy the local coffee shops.

Employee Music Therapist
I am a board-certified music therapist who completed my Bachelor of Music Therapy at Purdue University Fort Wayne, and will complete my Master of Music Therapy with a focus on music therapy in integrative medicine at PFW in May 2024. While interning at the VA of northern Indiana, I was honored to provide individual and group music therapy sessions to support our veterans and their loved ones. During my internship I started a bi-weekly music therapy group for veterans residing on the Substance Abuse Residential Program unit, and co-facilitated a weekly group for women veterans seeking strategies for self-care. I am trauma-informed and believe that music affords us resources that support the emergence of our authentic selves. I enjoy exploring and adventuring with my family, being delighted by nature and nourishing my curiosity.
