Music Therapist
Trisha is a board-certified music therapist, certified neurologic music therapist, and current doctoral student in clinical psychology at Roosevelt University. Trisha specializes in the treatment of trauma, grief, and loss across the lifespan, and has experience working with children, teens, and adults with a range of needs including those with neurologic and neurocognitive disorders. Regardless of the reason for seeking services, Trisha works to support each individual’s strengths, supporting both autonomy, and self-efficacy throughout treatment. In viewing individuals through an anti-oppressive framework, Trisha stives for equity and accessibility for her clients, particularly for marginalized populations including those identifying as neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+.
In addition to her clinical work, Trisha actively engages in contributing to the body of scholarly work supportive of music therapy. Trisha has presented at the American Music Therapy Association’s National and Regional conferences and enjoys supporting music therapy advocacy through engagement in workshops and clinical consultation. Outside of work, Trisha enjoys being outdoors, reading, and baking. She also enjoys staying true to her musical roots, performing in wind ensembles as a clarinetist.
