Musical Therapy

Musical Therapy…

is where the magic of music meets the power of healing and growth. Music therapy is an established practice that harnesses the therapeutic properties of music to address emotional, cognitive, physical, and social needs. It is a holistic approach that touches the lives of individuals from diverse backgrounds and abilities, offering an avenue for self-expression and personal development.

In traditional settings, music therapists work closely with clients, utilizing various musical elements such as rhythm, melody, and harmony to create a safe and supportive environment. Through active music-making, listening, and songwriting, clients are encouraged to explore their emotions and experiences, promoting self-awareness and emotional regulation.

For children and adults who are neurodivergent, music therapy opens doors to connect with music in unique and profound ways. The universal language of music transcends barriers, enabling neurodivergent folks to express themselves and develop communication and social skills. In a non-judgmental atmosphere, music becomes a medium for self-discovery and emotional release, supporting cognitive and motor development.

It is essential to emphasize that while I am not yet a licensed music therapist, my passion for music therapy has long led me to incorporate music therapy techniques into my teaching practice. I am currently enrolled at CSU Northridge where I am earning my Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy and am committed to further honing my skills and knowledge as I complete the process and earn my credentials as a certified music therapist. My mission is to bring the benefits of music therapy to my students, fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where they can flourish emotionally, mentally, and physically through the power of music.

Whether you seek support for emotional well-being, cognitive development, or simply want to explore the beauty of music, music therapy offers a unique and personalized experience. Join me on this journey as we harness the harmonious blend of music and therapy to unlock the full potential of human connection and growth.
