About Matthew
Are you struggling with overwhelm, stress, anxiety, organizational skills, or time management as an individual or parent? Or possibly facing a major life transition, loss, grief or depression?
My strength is in supporting adults and children who face challenges like these.
I will support you to discover your inner resources, strengths and authenticity, helping you to cultivate a genuine sense of self and draw upon your innate resiliency. This will help you to forge meaningful connections and navigate life's challenges with clarity and confidence.
My client-centered approach includes mindfulness, somatic work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, solution focused therapy, play, dance, art, and music therapy.
Working collaboratively, we can help to cultivate self-compassion, foster healthy coping strategies, mindfulness, stress reduction techniques, develop clear communication skills, self-advocacy, and setting healthy boundaries.
After receiving a B.A. in Music Composition, I went on to complete a teaching degree.
As an elementary music teacher, my interest in group dynamics and individual personalities grew, leading me to pursue a master's degree in counselling psychology. I am interested in the effects of developmental trauma and attachment styles.
I have extensive experience leading groups of musicians (from novices to Grammy winners) and am particularly excited about offering group therapy work using music as the therapeutic process.
