My Cred

I obtained my Master's Degree in Music Therapy at NYU and have entered advanced training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy.

​

VOICE COACHING:

I got my bachelor’s degree from Berklee College of Music in Voice. I have studied extensively with renowned vocal coach and counselor Jennifer Hamady on the psychology of singing and self-expression. I completed the 40-hr New York Vocal Coaching training and certification with Justin Stoney. I currently take voice lessons with a voice therapist/speech-language pathologist, learning nuances about healthy vocal production. 

​

THERAPEUTIC SONGWRITING:

I spent four years facilitating songwriting & recording sessions for homeless veterans with PTSD through the nonprofit Voices of Valor. During my master’s internship in outpatient mental health, I regularly used therapeutic songwriting to help clients process trauma. I wrote my thesis about helping professional singer-songwriters reconnect to their craft after trauma. 

​

ACTING/DRAMA THERAPY:

I spent 100+ hrs in psychodrama training at "The Inner Stage."  I completed Performance Wellness trainings with therapist Louise Montello. I took a 6-week training in acting techniques at Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop, Josh Pais's Creative Invincibility workshop, and the Magnet Theatre's 3-level musical improv comedy training. I cut my teeth performing songs in David Friedman's Inner Voice classes and David Brunetti's Acting Songs workshop.

​

DANCE/SOMATIC RELEASE:

I grew up learning jazz, tap and musical theatre choreography. Now I regularly practice improvisational dance and sensual movement. I am a devotee of S Factor pole dance studio, and obtained the Femme! Teacher certification to lead sensual & somatic healing movement experiences.

COACHING:

I completed CTI's Co-Active Coach® 104 hr Training Program. I completed Landmark Education's Self Expression & Leadership Program and their Team, Management & Leadership Program.
