Expressive Somatic Therapy

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) in Claverack (next to the city of Hudson) in Columbia County, NY. I am passionate about authentic self-expression and somatic experience in psychotherapy. I specialize in treating anxiety, attachment, trauma and relationships for children and adults. My approach is a seasoned blend of Somatic/Attachment work based on the DARe Method with Expressive Art Therapy, especially Music Therapy. I also specialize in Music Therapy for children on the Autism spectrum and young people who are less responsive to talk therapy.

I have worked in the foster care system in the state of New York since 2010. I am trained and experienced in working with children and families from diverse backgrounds. I obtained my psychotherapy license (LCAT) in 2020 and am currently working in private practice in the Hudson Valley. I am also a musician, and a multi-instrumentalist. Among my background is extensive training in the meditative tradition of Indian Classical music on the Bansuri flute. I incorporate therapeutic music experiences in two ways: music making together and/or receptive methods in which client can receive somatic sound experiences.

I love being in nature, playing music, spending time with my wife and two kids, swimming hiking and camping, and playing my heart out.
