Teaching Artist Statement
I believe that music has the power to change our emotions and bring color to our world. I have experienced how music can make a difference. It serves as a bridge between therapists and clients, using the power of music to help those in need. As a music therapist, I want to create a safe space where individuals can feel the connection between music and themselves.
