“When we do not have words to convey our sensations, feelings, or thoughts, we cannot simply 'name it to tame it'. But we can use implicit communication -- movement, rhythm, sound, image, enactment, and play -- to 'express it to address it'.
This is the transformative and restorative role of expressive arts, to provide a voice when language is unavailable or impossible.”
​
- Dr. Cathy Malchiodi, trauma-informed expressive arts therapist and researcher

Why I Became a Music Therapist
The first time I had ever heard of music therapy was a random day in the summer of 2019 when my mother showed me a video that came up on her Instagram. It was some post about the “power of music” and was most likely not legitimate ‘music therapy’, but because it came up, it allowed my mom to remember the fact that one of her hair clients was a music therapist. Being the owner of her own hair salon, my mom met a lot of random people and one of them just so happened to be a music therapist that shared her story. Due to that moment of advocacy, I not only learned what music therapy was and shortly after applied for Wartburg, but I also reached out to that specific therapist so I could write a paper about music therapy. Because of this wonderful chain of events, I was able to discover my passion for music therapy and began to determine how I want to go about the world as a future therapist.
