At Levine
“I fulfill music therapy contracts for Levine at various clinical sites around the DMV area including public schools, long-term elder care, respite care.”
“I so sincerely appreciated the genuine support I felt from all of my supervisors while I was an intern at Levine that, when they asked me to stay on as a member of the professional team, I was only too happy to accept their offer!”
Teaching Philosophy
“I believe musical is a natural behavior for all humans, so it is a common ground for us all to connect with. By personally and musically connecting with my clients, I can build a strong therapeutic-relationship through which I may learn about a client’s strengths and needs, and ultimately help guide them toward their musical or non-musical treatment goals.”
Personal
“I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going on walks outside, playing with my cat, cooking, and photography.”
