Why I’m Glad I Still Get Nervous Before a Session

2017-10-04T14:44:12+00:00October 4th, 2017|

Before I step into a session with teens I feel a teeny, tiny twinge of nervousness in my stomach. It's brief, but noticeable. After twelve years of working with teens as a music therapist, you would think the nerves would be gone. But here's why I'm glad I still get a little bit nervous before [...]

Everything is Awesome (The Lego Movie + therapeutic goals)

{Thanks to everyone for your kind comments following my post about Hurricane Irma and how Julie Andrews helped during my evacuation with my two babies. I really enjoyed hearing from you. We are still cleaning up in Miami and it's been a slow process, but things are slowly getting back to "normal."} One thing that [...]

Hurricane Irma + Julie Andrews

2019-09-11T15:42:26+00:00September 13th, 2017|

It feels like it has been quite a while since I've been in your inbox! The reason is a little thing you may have heard of called Hurricane Irma that was headed straight for Miami. I evacuated with my two girls last week while my husband, a firefighter/paramedic stayed behind to work. I'm glad to [...]

It’s the First Day of School

2017-08-17T18:08:26+00:00August 17th, 2017|

  When I was a kid, I LOVED back to school time. I loved shopping for new school supplies (Lisa Frank notebooks and Bic pens were my thing!) and was always so excited for the first day of school. I try to bring some of that same excitement into my music therapy sessions on the [...]

St. Louis Here I Come!

2017-08-02T15:09:57+00:00August 2nd, 2017|

Last week I registered for the National Music Therapy Conference in St. Louis, Missouri and I AM SO EXCITED!! I haven't been to a conference since 2013 when I was pregnant and I have been itching to go back ever since. Honestly, for me, waiting for conference is like waiting for Christmas. I get so [...]

Midsummer FLASH SALE!

2017-07-26T11:58:39+00:00July 26th, 2017|

I hope you've been having a great summer so far! My little family of four just returned from a trip to my hometown of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and we had a blast. It was a fantastic trip where I had the opportunity to reconnect with friends I hadn't seen in over twenty years. I'm still buzzing [...]

These Are a Few of My Favorite Posts

2017-07-19T14:19:17+00:00July 19th, 2017|

I'll admit that today I was a little stumped for ideas about what to write in my weekly blog post. My husband and I are knee-deep in raising a vivacious toddler and feisty 8-month-old full time at home and sometimes it's hard for me to transition into "music therapy mode" when the kiddos lay down [...]

What Daniel Tiger Can Teach Us About Songwriting

2017-06-21T13:54:09+00:00June 21st, 2017|

As I write this blog post, my 3-year-old is watching Daniel Tiger and my 7-month-old take is taking one of her mini-non-consolidated naps (can anyone relate?!) I've had many Daniel Tiger episodes playing in the background as I try to get a little work done during nap/quiet time. This is because I'm home with my [...]
