  • 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.

    MT-BC: Board-Certified Music Therapist

  • I take a person-centered approach to music therapy, which means I always prioritize your unique needs, goals, and preferences. I believe that each individual is the expert of their own experience, and I’m here to support and guide you in whatever way is most meaningful to you. Our work together is a collaboration, and I strive to create a safe and empowering space where you can express yourself fully and explore music in a way that supports your growth and well-being.
