It’s nice to meet you! As a Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), I’ve loved collaboratively crafting musical moments that are unique for each individual. I have an extensive musical and clinical background that fosters my empathy, energy, and skillsets.

I am a Pediatric Music Therapist at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN, where I support patients and their families during hospitalizations through evidence-based music interventions. In addition, I facilitate clinical music sessions for research at the Music Cognition Lab at Vanderbilt University, and supervise music therapy students at Belmont University.

I provide services as a Board-Certified Music Therapist with various clientele including outpatient pediatric clinics, music enrichment classes, adult addiction recovery and mental health, assisted living facilities, and hold additional certifications in Neurologic Music Therapy, NICU Music Therapy, and DIRFloortime.

Born and raised in Nashville, I attended Belmont University for my undergraduate studies in Music Therapy and completed my 1200 hour internship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where I studied classical/commercial voice, guitar, piano, and saxophone. Other coursework included digital musicianship, composition and improvisation, and participation in various ensembles including Jazz Band I and World Percussion Ensemble. With over 10+ years of musical training, I have the ability to quickly adapt musically to your needs.

Outside of music, I enjoy traveling with my family and friends, thrift-shopping, and drinking coffee.
