About

Hello!

My name is Abby (she/her). I have a diverse background providing compassionate music therapy services to adults, teens, children and families in various settings. My work involves supporting those with complex mental health and psychiatric needs, as well as those seeking trauma-informed nervous system care for general health and wellness. I specialize in adult mental health, and I also enjoy supporting adolescents coping with adversity, individuals nearing the end-of-life, and families navigating life-transition. My goal is to offer a safe space for expression and insight development for all who feel ready to engage in their own self-exploration. I feel music and self-expression should be made safe and accessible for people of all ages across the spectrum of neurodiversity. LGBTQIA+ individuals are safe and supported with me. I am pleased to call Marietta and the Ohio Valley my home. I am passionate about supporting people in my area of Appalachia, and I am fortunate to go to work every day doing exactly that. My home is where I found love for writing and performing my own music locally, painting, trees, my dog, and of course my family and friends. I am proud to offer a sliding scale payment system to those in need to help ensure music therapy services are accessible for residents of the greater Ohio Valley. I am usually able to accept payments via state or federal waiver programs, and I can also accept HSA/FSA funds. I do not accept insurance at this time. Both in-person and telehealth appointments are available. Contact me or request an appointment to learn more. Be well and take care, Abby Logo Artwork created by my music therapy student, Annabel Malone.
