Music Therapy for Children and Teens
As a board-certified music therapist, Hannah recognizes how music can encourage expression, communication, emotional awareness, and connection with others.
Music therapy is the evidence-based use of music within a therapeutic relationship to support individualized treatment goals. Hannah can integrate music therapy with traditional therapeutic approaches to help children and adolescents explore emotions, develop coping skills, communicate experiences, and build on their strengths.
Children and families do not need any musical experience or ability to participate in or benefit from music therapy.
Education and Training
Hannah received her bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy from Western Michigan University and her master’s degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, where she specialized in Children and Families.
