Music Therapy

Meet Our Music Therapist

As a music therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals discover their strengths, build meaningful skills, and reach their fullest potential. My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and person-centred, recognizing that every individual brings unique strengths, abilities, and experiences.

I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where individuals feel respected, empowered, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. My practice draws on principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), sociology, physiology, and anti-oppressive approaches to provide thoughtful, individualized care.

What Is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is about so much more than making music! It is an evidence-informed therapeutic approach that uses music and musical experiences to support meaningful developmental, emotional, social, and physical goals.

Through engaging, individualized musical activities, music therapy can help children develop skills in areas such as:

  • Gross Motor Development: Supporting coordination, balance, and movement through activities such as dancing, walking, and jumping.

  • Fine Motor Development: Strengthening hand-eye coordination and motor control through instrument play and other musical activities.

  • Social Skills: Encouraging turn-taking, sharing, cooperation, and meaningful connections with others.

  • Communication: Supporting verbal and nonverbal communication, self-expression, and social interaction.

  • Emotional Regulation: Helping children recognize and express emotions, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in navigating challenging moments.

One of the most wonderful things about music therapy is that children can work toward important developmental goals while engaging in something creative, motivating, and enjoyable.

Every session is tailored to the individual’s interests, strengths, and needs, creating opportunities for connection, exploration, and growth.
