Music Therapy for Women

specializing in anxiety, childhood trauma and highly sensitive people (HSP)

You’re always overwhelmed. Tapped out. Pulled in multiple directions.

“I’m not good enough” is a constant refrain in your head. Your body always feels tense and your mind is never quiet. You keep repeating the same unhelpful roles and patterns in your relationships.

Words like anxiety and childhood trauma are not unfamiliar to you. You may also identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP).

You usually push forward and keep going – but that isn’t working anymore. 

Something deep inside you is calling out...

...to be grounded.

...to be heard.

...to feel calm.

You’ve always connected deeply with music.

Listening to music helps you release stress and anxiety. It connects you to joy, creativity, and playfulness - even if those moments are fleeting these days.

Music expresses feelings and thoughts you can’t find the words for. Whether you sing to yourself, rock out on the piano, or the perfect Spotify playlist is your jam - music lights you up.

It's time to find the calm in the chaos: music therapy can help

Music therapy cuts through the spirals of anxiety and overthinking to reconnect with yourself. 

Moving out of repetitive patterns, long-held anxiety, and stuckness is not just about changing your thoughts. (If it was, you would probably would have done that already.)

I’ll help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and deep feelings like joy, anger, and confidence.

It’s time to root back in and connect to yourself as a rhythmic being and reconnect with your breath and body. To figure out what you want to pay attention to and where you want to hold boundaries in your life.

(If boundaries feel like way too much, I can help you with that too.)

What does music therapy look like?

In our work together, we might listen to recorded music, understand old patterns through imagery and metaphor, or explore gentle mindfulness techniques to help your brain finally take a break.

Imagine if you could gently reconnect with your body and breath (instead of staying in your head).

Imagine if you could really understand what keeps you from showing up in confident and calm ways in your life - and know how to move through those blocks.

Music therapy can help you...

  • explore and express all kinds of feelings – even the ones you hate or ignore

  • stand up to that internal voice that says you’re not good enough

  • gently reconnect with your body and breath (instead of staying in your head)

  • understand what gets in your way - and know how to get unstuck from unhelpful patterns

It's time to slow down, tap into your inner strengths, and show up as the bold, bad-ass and calm woman you want to be.

Therapy for Anxiety

If you struggle with anxiety & perfectionism, music therapy can help you slow down meaningfully, understand when and why your anxiety shows up, and learn to help your perfectionist part to loosen its grip on your thoughts and actions.

Therapy for Childhood Trauma

If you’ve experienced childhood/intergenerational trauma, music therapy can help you figure out who you really are outside of all the roles you play, understand all of your feelings, and learn how to express your anger safely and feel joy fully.

Therapy for Highly Sensitive People (HSP)

If you’re a highly sensitive person, music therapy can help you understand and accept your sensitivity, find the ground so you can stop spinning and shutting down, and learn to take care of yourself & still show up for the people and things that matter to you.
