She received her BA in Music Therapy from The College of Wooster, in Wooster, OH and completed her clinical internship training at Forbes Health Center in Pittsburgh, PA.

Kathy began practicing music therapy in 1991. During her career she has helped a wide variety of individuals better themselves and their lives through music. Populations with which she has worked include trauma survivors, autistic children, the mentally retarded and developmentally delayed (MRDD), the terminally ill, and traumatic brain injury patients (TBI). Kathy currently works with older adults suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and other developmental delays.
In addition to providing direct music therapy services, Kathy has a studio of music students taking both traditional and adaptive music lessons. She also provides professional presentations and workshops around the country.
In 2008 Kathy founded her company, Melisma Music Therapy in order to provide quality music therapy, workshops, presentations, and music lessons to people throughout Ohio. The company is built on the belief that within every person, no matter what the challenges, there is a healthy and creative spirit wanting to express itself and music therapy is the means of tapping this creative self and giving it a voice. The result is promoting emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual health as well as improving the quality of life of those served.
