Philosophy
“I believe that all individuals can learn to live a rewarding, balanced, mindful, and healthy life. They can have positive family and or work-based interactions and learn to make meaningful connections. Together we can create opportunities to restore skills, learn, grow, play, and laugh. We can assist individuals to pursue individual interests and develop the tools they need to nurture their minds, bodies, and souls. The best part…music and play can help to facilitate all that!”

Philosophy
“I’m fascinated by how our minds work. The ways we think, communicate, and behave overall are so unique. Sometimes we need help with expressing ourselves, understanding others, or building different habits- and that’s okay! My goal is to help clients in their journeys to become their best selves. Let’s work together through talk, craft, and play. “

Hunter is interested in pursuing a master’s in counseling psychology in the near future and chose SHCS for its integrated approach of using music therapy interventions in meeting counseling outcomes.
Experience
Hunter has worked with an array of ages and populations. Her favorite intervention is songwriting because it allows folks to express themselves in a way other than just talking. She loves how clients get to see their song-writing creations come to life once music and instruments are added.
