About Michele
At heart I’m a musician who feels fortunate to have discovered the field of MUSIC THERAPY following early studies in psychology and music. I cherish being active in an arts therapy field that stresses human connection, quality of care, and a search for well-being through experiences in MUSIC.
After positions in children’s psychiatric and special education settings, most of my music therapy clinical experience has taken place at the Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at New York University where I had the pleasure of being mentored by Clive and Carol Robbins. Collaborations with colleagues, supervision of music therapy students and NR Certification Candidates, research and teaching made for a rich experience!
Currently, through MAKE THERAPY MUSICAL, I offer music therapy sessions at an agency for differently-abled adults; maintain a small private practice; remotely supervise and teach piano skills to music therapy professionals and students, and offer self-paced online CMTE/LCAT Courses through this website.
A passion for working collaboratively and creatively with others informs my approach to supervision, continuing education and clinical work.
