Supporting growth, healing, and connection through the power of music.
Music Therapy and Adaptive Music Lessons in Mill Creek, WA
Board-Certified Music Therapist offering clinical music therapy and individualized adaptive music lessons in a supportive, client-centered setting. No musical experience needed, come as you are.
Could you benefit from Music Therapy?
Music reaches us in ways words alone can’t. Music therapy offers clinical, evidence-based support for anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and emotional regulation, while also providing a neurodivergent-affirming space for autistic individuals and others seeking relational, strengths-based support. By using music intentionally within the therapeutic relationship I support coping skills, self-awareness, communication, and emotional well-being. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s needs and may include songwriting, improvisation, lyric exploration, guided listening, and other music-based interventions.
Are Adaptive Music lessons right for you?
Music lessons can be more than just learning notes, they can build confidence, focus, and self-expression. Adaptive music lessons provide individualized, strengths-based instruction for adolescents and adults, and are especially well-suited for neurodivergent learners who benefit from personalized pacing, sensory awareness, and relational teaching. Through structured skill-building and creative exploration, lessons support independence, sustained attention, and meaningful musical growth. Sessions are tailored to each learner’s goals and include guitar, ukulele, or piano instruction, foundational technique, songwriting, and guided musical exploration.
Whether through clinical music therapy or adaptive instruction, all sessions are grounded in attuned, strengths-based work that meets each individual where they are. As a board-certified music therapist serving individuals in Mill Creek, WA and surrounding Snohomish County communities seeking therapy near home, I bring both clinical training and relational depth to this work.
I Work With
Adults and adolescents seeking support with mental health
I support adults and adolescents who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, or major life transitions. Music therapy offers a creative, evidence-based path for those who want something more experiential—or for those who haven’t felt fully supported by traditional talk therapy alone. Together, we use music to explore emotions safely, build coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and create moments of grounding and relief.
Autistic, neurodivergent, and disabled adults and adolescents
Everyone is wired a little differently. That’s why I provide neurodiversity-affirming music therapy that offers a supportive space where clients can explore communication, self-expression, ADHD management, emotional regulation, and meaningful connection through music. Sessions are collaborative and paced to honor each person’s sensory needs, lived experiences, and unique ways of engaging with the world.
Anyone looking to learn a musical instrument
Is that guitar in the corner calling your name? Curious about the ukulele and want to join in on the fun? Or maybe you’re a singer hoping to learn how to accompany yourself?
I offer adaptive music lessons for children, teens, and adults for guitar, ukulele, bass, and piano. Adaptive lessons provide a supportive, flexible learning environment tailored to each student’s needs, strengths, and interests. These lessons make music accessible and enjoyable for learners of all ages and abilities. No experience needed.
