What brought Rachel to music therapy?
“I started playing musical instruments when I was five years old, and music has been a prominent part of emotional expression and development in my life. As my interest in psychology and counseling grew, I started to explore ways to combine my understanding of psychology with my deep passion for music. I’ve always believed in the emotional depth and transformative power of music to foster personal growth and connection. This led me to pursue a career in music therapy after completing my undergraduate degree in psychology. Choosing this path has been one of the best decisions of my life, as I feel truly passionate about helping and connecting with others through music.”
