Counseling for the Creative Spirit

Client-centered therapy for artists, performers, and creators of all genres.

Welcome

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I offer a unique therapeutic space built on over a decade of experience in both clinical practice and the performing arts. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just beginning your creative journey, my goal is to provide high-quality, ethical counseling and coaching to help you achieve your personal goals and improve your overall well-being, both on stage and off.

What I Help With

Performance Anxiety

Navigate the pressures of performing and sharing your work with calm, confidence, and presence.

Creative Blocks

Work through the obstacles that keep you from your creative flow and reconnect with inspiration and possibility.

Perfectionism

Release unrealistic standards and self-criticism so you can create with greater freedom, authenticity, and joy.

Grief and Loss

Honor your experiences of loss—personal or creative—and rediscover meaning, healing, and connection through your art and life.

Work-Life Balance

Find sustainable rhythms that nurture both your artistic practice and your personal well-being.

Empowering artists, performers, and creators of all genres.

I specialize in empowering artists, performers, and creators of all genres—from musicians and actors to visual artists and writers—to navigate the unique challenges of the creative life. My approach is warm, respectful, and deeply client-centered, drawing upon proven techniques like CBT, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
