Below are select articles I've written over the years.
Since 2015, I've written on mental health and music for numerous online publications including HuffPost, VICE, Psyche, Greatist, Ravishly, The Establishment, The Strad, and the Journal of the American Viola Society.
Article on The Strad, about how private music instructors can use the modality of Intentional Peer Support in lessons to support students.
Article on The Strad, about learning challenges I've faced with having a condition that affects how I mentally practice & approach the viola.
Article on Psyche: about feeling overwhelmed with the loudness of orchestral playing, switching to Early Music performance to adapt.
Article on Psyche, a description of Aphantasia, a condition I have that renders me with a "blind mind's eye."
Article on Greatist, a day in my life as a peer specialist during the COVID pandemic in 2020, connecting with clients over the phone.
