Erin is a master’s level music therapist who has been practicing since 2015. Although she has worked with a diverse client population, the majority of her clinical experience has been in mental health and addiction treatment. Prior to becoming a music therapist, she lived and worked in Nashville, TN as a singer/songwriter. These experiences went on to shape her master’s thesis, which examined the ways in which music therapists use songwriting interventions to address grief. Erin has worked for Wellness Creative as the assistant director since 2020. She is also currently a part-time music therapy instructor at UK. In her free time, she loves going on adventures with her husband and children. She finds this career deeply rewarding for many reasons, but especially because of the impact music has on her clients’ expression and self-worth.
