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 and offer opportunities for meaning making. Kristen works within a person-centred and resource-oriented framework that emphasizes each person's autonomy and strengths. Because of this, music psychotherapy has the potential to be a powerful and personal experience.
