What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can deliver clinical music therapy in medical or hospice settings, lead education and bereavement programs, supervise clinicians, and grow a client-focused private practice.

I am a licensed and board-certified music therapist with extensive experience providing music therapy across hospice, NICU, rehabilitative, and community settings. I lead a private practice and manage clinical caseloads while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to support patients and families.

My work includes hospice direct care, bereavement programming, staff education, and development of branded therapeutic products and resources. I have supervised therapists, delivered community group sessions, and implemented evidence-informed interventions to improve emotional wellness and social development.

I am committed to ongoing professional development, advocacy, and mentorship through volunteer leadership roles and clinical supervision, continuously learning new trends to better support patients and educate colleagues.
