Music therapy is the evidence-based use of music interventions by a board-certified music therapist to achieve clinical goals within a therapeutic relationship. The connection between human affect and music has been extensively researched and shows it reliably generates emotional responses in listeners. The practice involves listening to, reflecting on, and creating music to improve a person's health and well-being. A qualified music therapist is essential in this work as a reliable guide through the more challenging streams within your unconscious.
My practice focuses on treating individuals and communities affected by violence, trauma, and the political contexts surrounding it. Sessions can be practiced individually or in groups, often in conjunction with other therapies, treatments, or pharmaceuticals.

Teaching
I teach a craft-based approach to composition and improvisation to activate and broaden one's resources for authentic music-making and communication skills. I teach online music theory, history, and philosophical courses from a vernacular/aural and proletariat perspective. My philosophical approach is non-hierarchical and accessible to anyone, including self-educated, formally trained, total novices, and experts.
I teach all lessons online.
Workshops can be conducted both online and in person.
