Research, Publications & Clinical Interests:
I specialize in work with survivors of violence, people with disabilities, and in palliative care, with current research interests in Feminist Music Therapy and its use for empowerment.
Speaking Engagements:
I speak regularly nationally and internationally on issues related to my research, publications and clinical interests. Most recently I highlight findings from my book, “Music for Women (Survivors of Violence)” on how women can use music/music therapy for personal growth and empowerment, and how women survivors can use music to recover from the harm of abuse.
