Battling Depression? Use music to connect to your emotions

Depression is a major public health problem that affects millions of people around the world. It is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems.

If you are experiencing severe depression, please reach out to a licensed therapist. Although I am not qualified to treat depression, I can provide supplemental coaching support on your path to healing.

As someone who's battled depression, music has played a big role in my healing. Let's look at how you can use music and creativity on your journey.

Q: Do you have a cancellation policy?
A: You get 50% back of all unused sessions.

Q: Can I reschedule?
A: Yes. You can reschedule up to two sessions at least 24 hours before the scheduled session.

Q: What will coaching do for me?
A: Coaches work in partnership with their clients to help them come to a clear understanding of their deepest desires for their own lives. Coaches support their clients in defining and taking action toward their most important goals, breaking patterns that have previously stopped them from making progress. Coaching is an action-oriented, forward-focused process designed to support clients reach certain specific benchmarks over a set period of time. It views clients as already whole, equipped with what they need to create the change they’re seeking.

Q: How is coaching different from counseling or therapy?
A: Coaching is not counseling or therapy, where the counselor or therapist helps a client identify and heal from old trauma, and it’s not consulting, where the consultant offers advice and instructions. However, through coaching, many clients uncover areas of life that need attention and trigger a deeper healing process. I will always refer you to a licensed therapist/ counselor if I believe it would be for your benefit. Coaching is not a replacement for psychotherapy.
