Biography
I have an honours degree in Music Education from the University of Western Ontario and a Master of Music Therapy from Wilfrid Laurier University. I taught voice and piano at various music schools, Yamaha music education for young children, and voice technique classes at Conestoga College. I have experience performing in stage and film productions, and I performed in a jazz trio at music venues and private clubs in Toronto.
I am an accredited music therapist and a registered psychotherapist (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario). Currently I supervise graduate and undergraduate Music Therapy students at Wilfrid Laurier University and have taught Music Therapy courses. As a clinician I have worked with children and adults with developmental delays (KidsAbility, school settings, PTDC, group homes), at an in-patient unit in child and adolescent mental health, with adults experiencing hearing and vision loss (DeafBlind Ontario), and with elderly clients diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
