Where clinical expertise meets the healing power of music
Board-certified music therapist for children and adults in Miami-Dade,
Music isn't just something we listen to — it's something that changes us.
Music therapy is the clinical, evidence-based use of music to work toward meaningful goals: communication, emotional regulation, motor skills, social connection, and more.
As a Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), I design individualized sessions using live music, songwriting, movement, and listening — meeting each person exactly where they are.
Individualized sessions
Every session is tailored to the person's unique goals, preferences, and needs — no two sessions are the same.
In-person & virtual
Sessions available in Miami-Dade and Broward County, or online via telehealth for clients anywhere.
Individual & groups
One-on-one therapy plus group sessions for schools, daycares, therapeutic settings, and community programs.
Benefits of music therapy for the mind and body
The benefits of music therapy are wide-reaching. Music therapy can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve mood by stimulating the brain's natural reward centers — creating a holistic approach to health that helps people of all ages feel more balanced, connected, and resilient.
Common questions
What to expect
What is music therapy?
Music therapy is the use of music-based interventions, by a board-certified music therapist, to work toward non-musical, clinical goals. Music therapy techniques and efficacy are backed by research, neuroscience, and clinical evidence. Music therapists frequently work in interdisciplinary teams including speech pathologists, behavioral specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, art therapists, and recreational therapists.
Who is music therapy for?
If a person would benefit from any other type of therapy, it is likely they'll benefit from music therapy as well. Music therapists work with neurodivergent children and adults including those diagnosed with ASD, learning disabilities, genetic disabilities, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Music therapy is also beneficial for children and adults with medical needs including cancer, COPD, post-stroke, TBI, or neurodegenerative diseases.
What does a music therapy session look like?
There is no single formula to a music therapy session. Music therapy may look completely different depending on the client's needs, attention span, and preferences. Sessions may include singing, moving to music, songwriting, lyric analysis, instrument playing, music-based discussions, or improvising. Sessions are constantly adapting based on the client's needs and wants in that moment in order to provide the most effective and personalized experience.
What goals are addressed in music therapy?
Music therapy is unique to other therapies because it covers goals across 5 domains: communicative, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical/motor. Goals might include improving speech quality, expanding sentences, improving reading/writing, or strengthening executive function skills such as memory, attention, and impulse control. Other goals might include expanding range of motion, strengthening fine motor skills, emotional expression, coping skills, and emotion regulation.
