Individual 1:1 Music Therapy Services

I am a board-certified music therapist in practice for over 10 years. Much of my practice is focused on hospice, end of life care, palliative care, bereavement, and grief support. I do see clients with other needs, such as chronic medical conditions, chronic pain, respiratory symptoms, anxiety, depression, and stress management. In addition to mainstream music therapy, I also practice music healing techniques from many indigenous and eastern cultures. Some interventions include:

• Rythmic Entrainment
• Meditation
• Music Assisted Guided Imagery & Relaxation
• Vibrational energy techniques
• Counseling techniques employing music
• Songwriting and composition
• Creative Improvisational Music Therapy Techniques
• Toning and melodic intonation
• Lyric analysis

In my hospice work I also include many established techniques, such as:

• Music Assisted Life Review & Reminiscence
• Mood Entrainment
• Transitional Music Techniques
• Music-Assisted Spritual Support
• End-of-life counselling
• Grief Support
• Family therapy sessions

I serve all ages from a few months old to 106 (oldest so far) with a variety of medical conditions (cancers, dementia, neuromuscular diseases, stroke, cardiovascular disease, to name a few). Many of my hospice clients are seen through Ridgeview Hospice or other organizations, but I am also available to see clients on an individual basis in a variety of care and residential settings. My general area I practice is in the western Twin Cities Metro area and rural areas west of the cities. I serve other areas for an additional fee.
