Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sound Space Collective offers music-centered therapy and growth experiences for individuals, couples, groups, and clinicians.
    Services may include:

    • Bonny Method Guided Imagery and Music (GIM): Deep, music-centered sessions that support insight, healing, and personal transformation.

    • Focused Music & Imagery (Adapted GIM): A shorter, more structured form of music and imagery work that can be more accessible than full-length GIM.

    • Music Psychotherapy: Ongoing talk therapy integrated with music listening, songwriting, and music-based processing to support emotional health and resilience.

    • Clinical Music Therapy: Goal-oriented music therapy interventions tailored to needs such as anxiety, pain, stress, sleep, coping, and life transitions.

    • Groups and workshops: Small group experiences such as imagery and music circles, creative reflection groups, and topic-based series (stress, grief, meaning-making, etc.).

    • Professional consultation and supervision: Support for music therapists, GIM trainees, and clinicians integrating music, imagery, and altered states of consciousness into ethical practice.

    • Custom experiences: Retreat sessions, intensives, and curated music-and-imagery experiences for individuals or organizations.

  • The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery & Music (GIM) is a depth-oriented approach that uses carefully selected classical music to support imagery, emotions, body awareness, and insight. In a typical session, you relax, set an intention, and listen to a sequenced music program while describing what you’re noticing (images, memories, sensations, feelings). I support the process with gentle prompts that help you stay connected to your experience and follow what’s emerging.
    People often seek GIM for:

    • Anxiety and stress relief

    • Grief and loss

    • Life transitions and identity work

    • Healing from medical trauma or intense experiences

    • Spiritual exploration and meaning-making

    • Creative blocks and personal growth

    GIM can be profound, but it’s not about forcing anything. The music helps the psyche do what it already knows how to do: move toward integration.

  • Music therapy is a clinical, evidence-informed service provided by a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC). It uses music intentionally to support health-related goals such as reducing anxiety, coping with medical treatment, processing emotions, improving mood, and strengthening resilience.
    Music therapy can look different depending on what you need. It might include:

    • Live or recorded music for relaxation and nervous system regulation

    • Music listening and processing for emotional insight

    • Songwriting to express what’s hard to say out loud

    • Guided imagery with music for stress reduction and inner resourcing

    • Music-supported coping tools you can use outside of session

    Music therapy is not performance-based. You don’t need musical skill to benefit.

  • Getting started is simple:

    1. Reach out through the contact form (or email) with a brief note about what you’re looking for.

    2. We’ll schedule a short consultation call to make sure it’s a good fit and clarify what kind of support you want.

    3. If we decide to move forward, we’ll book your first session and I’ll send intake paperwork and next steps.

    If you’re not sure what service is right for you, that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

  • Sound Space Collective is built around depth, precision, and presence. A few things that tend to stand out:

    • Advanced training in the Bonny Method of GIM, a specialized approach that goes beyond standard relaxation or visualization.

    • A clinical foundation: Board-certified music therapy training with real-world experience supporting people through high-stress medical and life experiences.

    • Music-first work that’s still grounded: We honor spirituality, meaning-making, and transpersonal experiences while staying practical, ethical, and emotionally safe.

    • Highly personalized music selection: The music isn’t background. It’s a carefully chosen partner in the process.

    • A calm, steady style: Sessions are designed to be containing and supportive, especially if you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure what might come up.

  • Most people choose between single sessions and packages, depending on their goals.

    • Single sessions: best for trying it out, occasional support, or targeted work.

    • Packages: best for consistency and deeper progress (often includes a small discount and optional between-session support tools).

    Pricing depends on the service type and session length (for example, full-length GIM sessions are typically longer than standard therapy sessions). If cost is a concern, ask. I keep a limited number of sliding scale spots when available and can also help you choose a format that fits your budget.

  • You can expect sessions to feel grounded, human, and collaborative.

    • We start by clarifying what you want help with and what kind of experience you’re looking for.

    • I’ll offer structure where it helps, and spaciousness where it matters.

    • Sessions are paced carefully. We don’t force big emotional experiences, and we don’t rush insight.

    • You’ll leave with something you can use: a felt sense shift, a clearer narrative, a coping tool, or an internal image to return to.

    If you’re drawn to music, imagery, and depth work (but still want it to feel real and usable in daily life), you’ll likely feel at home here.
