What is music therapy?

Music therapy is the use of music in therapeutic interventions to address musical and non-musical goals.

I provide music therapy at facilities in central Ohio including disability care facilities, memory care units, nursing homes, camps and more. In addition to facility based services I provide virtual music therapy sessions for 1:1 clients and for small groups. In home sessions are also available for people who are medically fragile.

I have experience working with a wide range of diagnoses including people with developmental disabilities, psychiatric diagnoses, aging populations, chemical dependency, behavioral disorders, brain injury, and auto-immune disorders.

Interventions commonly include the use of piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, auxiliary percussion instruments, scarves, sensory tools, singing, recorded music, art, playlist curation, coping skill education, movement activities, adapted lessons, songwriting, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, lyric analysis, counseling, and more.

I am happy to provide services that fit the needs of your clients, residents, and family members including using their preferred music and activities.
