I am interested in clinically informed research that demonstrates the value and impact of creative arts therapies, specifically music therapy, with military-connected populations including active duty and veterans experiencing traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, and related health concerns. I am invested in the role that creative arts therapies and the arts-at-large play in familial, occupational, and societal health with specific interest in the relationships between cross health-care sectors (DoW, VA, civilian) and interagency partnerships.
