Music Therapy

Picture
I am a board certified music therapist who specializes in adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues.

Life can be incredibly challenging. Feelings of pride, distress, alienation, and inadequacy all give rise to existential dilemmas regarding the human condition’s complexities. People are deeply uncertain about negative emotions and how to process them. Music can be a place to help us reprocess our neural pathways to live more authentically.
Music expresses human imagination and offers unique opportunities to examine the abstract ideas, concepts, and truths that each person may face. My philosophy emphasizes the individual’s potential, the necessity of communal humanistic values, and the need to live creatively and constructively. We will focus on universally applicable notions of human nature through music, including mortality, justice, accountability, and a higher level of meaning and well-being in one's life. Music carries healing qualities due to its unique phenomenon of processing on both sides of the brain. Music has the extraordinary capability to stimulate our emotions and evoke our memories. When we make music together, our hearts beat together.

Online Meditation Group

Picture
I teach a syncretic, non-theistic approach to mindfulness, seeking awareness of life’s inner nature, exploring three aspects of existence: impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Spiritual transcendence can come from many ethical principles and practices that address life’s essence through communion with oneself and others, time, space, incarnation, and consciousness. This course aims to teach fundamental principles and techniques of insight meditation and develop tools and community to continue a lifetime of practice and exploration.

Mindfulness is not limited to the wealthy.

Courses run for two weeks (10 days) M-F from 10 am ET / 7 am PT. I teach individual meditation courses as well.

Basic Instructions
  • Please read this article before the course begins on Monday ARTICLE.
  • Sign in to each class from a desktop or laptop computer. If you only have a tablet, that will be fine.  I recommend not signing in with a cell phone unless you have no other option.
  • Check your computer's Zoom settings before starting the course to run the most recent version of Zoom on your computer. zoom.us 
  • Use earbuds or headphones as these will give you the best quality sound and prevent feedback.
  • Prepare your space so that you are comfortable for each session.
  • Clothing should be loose and comfortable.
  • Meditators can sit on a cushion, cross-legged, or upright in a chair.
