Welcome to Found. Unfiltered. Free. | Music Therapy SW Washington

A place where we use music to find our voice, tell our truth, and celebrate who we've always been, unfiltered and unapologetically free.

You found this place for a reason.

Maybe you're exhausted and overwhelmed. Maybe you've been doing everything for everyone else for so long that when someone asks what YOU want, you go blank. Maybe you've been told your whole life that you're too sensitive, too emotional, too much, and somewhere along the way, you started believing it.

Maybe you can't remember the last time you did something that felt like yours.

If any of that landed you're in the right place.

This Is Not Your Typical Wellness Blog

I'm not going to tell you to practice gratitude or take a bubble bath.

I'm not going to hand you a five-step plan to fix yourself.

I'm not going to use words like "cope" or "manage," because you're not here to just get through it. You're here because something in you knows there's more. A version of yourself that's fully expressed, fully alive, and fully celebrated for exactly who you are.

That's what this space is for.

Found. Unfiltered. Free. is a place where we tell the truth. Where we say the quiet parts out loud. Where we use music to get to the places words alone can't reach.

We are brave. It is difficult, AND it is so worth it.

Who This Space Is For

This one's for you if you've spent years doing everything your supposed to do, trying to following the rules, adapting yourself to fit in the box, taking care of everyone needs but your own, showing up for everything, and somehow ended up feeling completely stuck, lost and invisible, even to yourself.

You might be a young or old. You might be a parent. You might be neurodivergent, or raising a neurodivergent child, or both. You might have tried therapy, read the self-help books, gone through the motions of self-care without actually feeling better.

You're not broken. You're not too much. You're not beyond help.

You're unexpressed and holding it all in, and that is hijacking your life, BUT that changes here.

Why Music?

Music therapy isn't a performance. You don't need talent. You don't need training. You don't need to be able to carry a tune. What you need is a willingness to feel, and music has been doing that for you your whole life whether you realized it or not. It's why a song comes on and suddenly you're crying in the car and you don't even know why. It's why certain playlists feel like armor. It's why your nervous system settles the moment the right beat drops.

Music can bypass the parts of your brain that overthinks, overexplains, and performs. It can go straight to your heart, you emotions and your truth, and that is exactly what this space is built around.

Here's how music helps you get there:

Express. You've been bottling things up for a long time. Feelings you couldn't or refused to name. Needs you didn't feel allowed to have. Truths you were too scared to say out loud. Music gives all of that somewhere to go. It lets out what's been held in without judgment, without explanation, without having to find the perfect words first.

Reclaim. Somewhere between the roles and the responsibilities and the endless giving, you lost track of who you actually are. Music brings you back. Not to who you're supposed to be to who you've always been. The version of you that existed before you learned to shrink. That person is still there. Music helps you find them.

Celebrate. This is the part most people skip. We're so focused on surviving that we forget to celebrate. But celebration isn't frivolous, it's revolutionary, because you deserve to be celebrated. Especially for anyone who's been told their differences are problems. Music teaches you to honor what makes you YOU, to own it, to turn up the volume.

Express. Reclaim. Celebrate.

That's the whole journey. And it starts here.

What to Expect From This Space

You'll find real stories, including mine. Bold truth-telling about what it actually looks like to lose yourself and find your way back. Practical insights about how music therapy works and why it works when nothing else has. Thought-provoking challenges that invite you to show up differently, and a community of people who get it, because they're in it too.

No toxic positivity. No prescriptive advice. No pretending it's easy.

Just honest, warm, unapologetic conversation about what it means to be fully found, fully unfiltered, and fully free.

My story... because it matters.

I've lived this. I continue to work at it every single day.

I lost myself completely in motherhood. I was angry, confused, resentful, lonely, sad, depressed, overwhelmed, and anxious. I couldn't see who I was beyond the roles and the expectations I was taught to believe. Music, the thing that had defined my whole life had gone silent.

Then, slowly, courageously, I found my way back, through music, through choosing myself. Through learning that my differences weren't problems that they were my greatest gifts.

That's why I built this space. Because no one deserves to feel like they're barely keeping it together with no end in sight. No one deserves to feel completely alone surrounded by people. No one deserves to keep following the rules and still feel stuck and unhappy.

So welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

You don't need to be fixed. You need to be found.

And this? This is where that starts.
