offered through Infinity and helps cultivate and maintain relationships with universities and music therapy programs across the country. She is passionate about supporting the next generation of music therapists and brings thoughtful attention to the student experience. Through advocacy and reflection on student and intern experiences, Emily works to identify where clinical training experiences align with — and differ from — the perspectives and expectations of university programs. Her work helps strengthen communication between educational programs and clinical practice while supporting meaningful, well-rounded learning experiences for emerging music therapists.

Emily brings a thoughtful and reflective approach to both clinical practice and supervision. She encourages students, interns, and colleagues to look beyond the immediate circumstances of a situation and consider their own emotional responses, the perspectives of clients and families, and the many factors that may influence how an experience is interpreted. Her supervision style encourages deeper reflection and helps emerging clinicians develop greater awareness of how their clinical decisions, communication, and presence can affect the people they serve.

One of Emily’s greatest strengths is her ability to organize people, information, and ideas into collaborative action. She is skilled at facilitating communication across teams, whether working within Infinity, collaborating with special education teams, or participating in interdisciplinary treatment teams supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. Emily brings a wealth of knowledge to these settings while also making space for the perspectives and expertise of others, thoughtfully synthesizing information to help teams identify meaningful ways that music and music-based strategies can support their goals.

With a classical and jazz background, Emily has been a pianist for nearly 20 years and is also proficient on guitar, percussion, and vocals. She is an accomplished vocalist and songwriter who has professionally recorded and released original music, including several singles and an EP, and looks forward to continuing to develop her work as a songwriter and musician.

Emily brings organization, creativity, musicality, advocacy, and thoughtful reflection to everything she does at Infinity. She is passionate about strengthening the field of music therapy by supporting both the people receiving services today and the clinicians who will carry the profession forward tomorrow.
