Hi I'm Lyzz! I am a board-certified music therapist. I received my Masters of Mental Health Counseling and Music Therapy from Lesley University in 2023. My coursework included exposure to several expressive arts therapies which I also use in practice, including art, dance, and drama therapies.  

My clinical experience includes school-based music therapy with elementary school children at King Open School, and outpatient mental health counseling and music therapy with children, teenagers, and parents at Arlington Youth Counseling Center where I also co-facilitated a support group for domestic violence survivors. In each of these spaces I facilitated support groups for staff members. I have also facilitated courses in using music for wellness, and have spent four years teaching adaptive music lessons in voice, piano, guitar, and ukulele. 

In therapy with me, we use the creative process to tune in to your feelings, thoughts, and experiences, find places of peace and safety, explore and rewrite your stories, and express your authentic self. We will connect with music, yourself, and those around you. If music isn't your jam, I am also certified in solution-focused therapy, and often bring in other modalities such as narrative therapy, internal family systems, and mindfulness. I am client-centered at my core, meaning I want to work together to create a space that feels best for your own growth. I'm looking forward to working with you.
