Becoming a Music Therapist
Erica attended Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, GA and graduated with a Bachelor of Music Therapy (BMT) in 2013. Subsequently, she earned the Music Therapy Board Certification (MT-BC) designation from the Certification Board of Music Therapy in 2014, a credential that signifies her advanced clinical competence and commitment to professional standards.
How She Helps
Erica specializes in working with children (ages 6-18) dealing with mental, emotional, and behavioral issues. Her eclectic, client-centered approach primarily involves music but also elements of play therapy and now Dialectical Behavior Therapy* (DBT). She tailors her methods to meet the unique needs of each child, recognizing that healing looks different for everyone. She also works closely with families to promote understanding and provide tools for navigating life's challenges.
Personal Life
When not working, Erica is a wife and mother of one, enjoying family time and embracing outdoor activities in her local community. She loves walking greenways, boating, attending festivals, reading, cooking, listening to music and podcasts, coloring, crafting, trying new restaurants, and cheering on the Tennessee VOLS and Green Bay Packers (“Go Pack Go!”).
Favorite Quote
Her guiding principle encapsulated in the quote, “My goal is to leave a positive impact on everyone I meet. Whether it be a smile, a laugh or a changed heart… leave a little sparkle everywhere you go,” serves as a testament to her commitment to creating meaningful connections and fostering a positive impact in the lives of those she works with.
*Erica feels proud and is eager to be a student again as she elevates her professional skills and impact as a therapist to become a DBT-Informed Music Therapist. She will achieve this exclusive credential from the Speigel Academy as of Spring 2026. To learn more, please visit The Speigel Academy website.
