I am an Accredited Music Therapist (MTA) with the Canadian Association of Music Therapists and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Piano and Voice Performance from West Virginia University, a Master of Music in Collaborative Piano from Bowling Green State University, and a Master of Music Therapy from Wilfrid Laurier University.
I began my music career as an educator and coach-accompanist, specializing in voice and piano instruction, lyric diction, accompanying, and chamber music coaching. Over the last fifteen years, I have held teaching and coach-accompanist positions at several Malaysian institutions: UCSI University, Bentley Music Academy, Nexus International School, and the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre.
My teaching experience has been diverse and includes working with young children, university students, working adults, and even those who enjoy making music in their retirement. Out of all these teaching experiences, witnessing music bring excitement and new found hope to underprivileged youth and individuals with special needs holds a special place in my heart. In fact it is through teaching music among the disadvantaged and refugee communities in Malaysia that developed my interest in music and wellness.
I have since pursued and completed post-graduate training in music psychotherapy and have practiced as a therapist in acute medical care, inpatient mental health, and community settings; using music as a therapeutic medium to address physical, emotional, cognitive, communicative, social, and spiritual needs. My clinical experience includes mental health, developmental disabilities, and cancer and palliative care.
