Approach
Kristen believes music has the ability to deeply move and connect people due to its innately expressive qualities. In the therapeutic space Kristen utilizes both music and verbal intervention to bring awareness to inner feelings, values, and beliefs, thereby empowering individuals to make intentional changes. Kristen works within a person-centred framework and emphasizes each person's autonomy, strengths, and needs when setting goals. Because of this, music therapy has the potential to be a powerful and personal experience.
