Ages I Work With: Teens, Adults, Older Adults

I’m Passionate About Working With:

Everyone is innately an artist.
In being compassionate and empathetic throughout the therapy process.
Music can help us open up and show a new side of ourselves, allowing for expression without always needing words.
My role as a music therapist is to walk alongside you in your journey and support you in ways that are most meaningful to you.
Music is a powerful tool that can foster healing, connection, and self-discovery.

I Believe…

Use active music-making, including singing, instrument play, songwriting, and improvisation.
Learn about your favorite music and interests.
Work in the moment and adapt to your needs as they arise.
Encourage free self-expression and provide a safe space for creativity and exploration.
Follow your lead while supporting your personal goals.

Hi there! My name is Shelby and I received my Bachelor's degree from Shenandoah University upon completing my internship at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center. I have always had a love for singing and making music, and I knew early on that I wanted to use music to help others. In my free time, you can find me singing, reading a fantasy book, playing video games, or spending time with my animals.
