Our Founder
I am a Georgia state licensed, board-certified music therapist, with a Bachelors degree in Music from Florida A & M University, as well as, a Master’s degree in Music Therapy from Florida State University. I have experience working with hospice patients and their families; grief counseling, palliative patients, children with special needs, individuals with substance abuse, at-risk youth, mental health, wellness and family counseling.
I have always loved music! My grandmother told me that ever since I could speak, I would sing along and dance to the music playing in the car. Throughout my life, music has had an immense role in my growth and development. Music has been my solitude, my source of wisdom, my place for enjoyment, and a place to showcase my creativity. Music has journeyed with me through the joyful times as well as the more challenging times and has proven to me on a personal and academic level that it is healing and life-giving.
My other passion is helping people and being a source of counsel. Innately I gravitated towards providing a safe and an empyreal space to promote self-actualization, positive thinking, and mindful living. I decided to establish Empyreal Essence to combine the gifts of music and therapeutic empathy to assist others in transforming their lives and meeting their targeted goals through the profession of music therapy!
