Why Music?

Music is often the soundtrack to our lives. It puts sounds to the experiences in our lives that are difficult to verbalize. Music therapy is a place to explore and better understand ourselves. In our work, music is used as a tool to facilitate processing of emotions and experiences that are challenging. This looks different for every client.

One of the most significant discoveries in neuroscience is that the areas of the brain responsible for our emotions are also activated when we engage with music, whether we are listening or playing. This shows a direct link between music and our feelings

Music therapy can help clients express emotions, process trauma, and regulate mood in ways that are often difficult through verbal communication alone. It taps into the brain's response to rhythm, melody, and harmony to facilitate healing, emotional release, and self-awareness.
