Palliative Care & Grief 

Dementia & Alzheimers 

Music psychotherapy helps people express and connect with their feelings, emotions, and inner voice using a blend of music experiences and verbal dialogue. The compassionate and confidential space created in the therapeutic relationship supports the enhancement of autonomy, relationships, and life legacy. 

​With both individual and group therapy offerings, Kristen travels to residential and community hospices, palliative care units, and long term care residences with the musical tools and knowledge to meet the needs of those she works with.
