why music therapy?
Music Therapy is a highly effective and engaging form of therapy for all populations. While my music therapy services specialize with children and teens, I enjoy and am well equipped to work across the lifespan. Clients who experience the following factors often choose music therapy as a preferred method to promote healing:
- Clients who are unable to identify their feelings and emotions.
- Clients who can identify their emotions but struggle to express them in a productive, healthy or expected manner.
- Clients who are simply uncomfortable expressing their emotions using words.
- Young clients experiencing postnatal or pre-verbal trauma.
- Clients who are unwilling to participate in traditional psychotherapy methods.
- Clients who simply prefer engaging in music experiences rather than verbal interaction.
