Music Therapy

People may engage with music therapy for a variety of reasons. In music therapy sessions, music exists as the foundational container in which to explore. I believe each person joins the work in unique ways that are explored through the client(s) themselves, myself as the music therapist, and the music. I often find myself working alongside:

  • those that are a part of marginalized and disenfranchised communities

  • those exploring gender, sexuality, and identity

  • those with neurodiverse or autistic identities

  • those in the process of grief work

  • therapists, music therapists, and creative folx looking for avenues of expression and exploration of self

Scope of Practice

While the field of music therapy has its roots in some foundational aspects of traditional counseling and talk therapy, it is different in that music is the main catalyst for expression, engagement, and communication.

It is not within my personal scope of practice to process deeply through trauma that may arise. That being said, I feel comfortable in holding a safe container for gentle processing and expression as folx want/need.
