Healing Sounds Music Therapy
About
Being the only mental health music therapist in north Alabama, and the only Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) therapist in the state-- it gives me a lot of satisfaction to offer this approach to mental health care to my community. In my experience, music offers people another way to express and experience their emotions. Sometimes a song says it better than we can!
I'm excited to see how music can change the lives of my clients in ways they never expected! Even though I've been a music therapist for 25+ years, I'm still amazed at how powerful music can be in helping people.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first session involves completing and going over the intake paperwork and getting to know each other a little bit. We discuss goals for the therapy process. Beginning in the 2nd session, we get into using music regularly. Sometimes that's listening to music, creating playlists to use as a coping technique for between sessions, or playing music together with instruments I have in the office. Music therapy isn't a cookie cutter approach to mental health care-- it's tailored to each individual client's needs and goals.
