About Me
Hi! My Name is Christina and I am a Certified Music Therapist working in the Tri-Cities.
Music has always been a way for me to connect — with myself and with others. Long before I understood it professionally, I was using sound and melody to express things that didn’t always come easily through words.
That connection is what led me to music therapy.
I am a proud Métis woman who continues to explore and reconnect with my maternal lineage. My experiences working with Indigenous communities, both in Canada and New Zealand, have shaped how I approach my work today — with a focus on listening, relationship, and meeting each person where they are.
Before becoming a music therapist, I worked as an archaeologist, collaborating with Elders and communities across different regions. Those experiences continue to influence how I show up in my work — with care, respect, and curiosity.
I completed my Bachelor of Music Therapy at Capilano University in 2021 and hold a certificate in Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT).
Over the past several years, I have worked with children, youth, adults, and older adults across a variety of settings, including adult day programs, long-term care, and community-based services. I have experience supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including those requiring higher levels of support and individuals with physical and neurological disabilities.
I also facilitate children’s music programming at Place des Arts, where I focus on creating engaging, supportive, and accessible musical experiences.
My approach is warm, flexible, and individualized. I aim to create a space where people feel comfortable, supported, and able to connect — whether that’s through singing, movement, instruments, or simply sharing music together.
