Your work is personal. Sometimes, so are the struggles that come with it.
Being a creative can be incredibly rewarding—and incredibly vulnerable.
Whether you're an actor, musician, writer, performer, artist, filmmaker, or working in entertainment, your creative work may be deeply connected to your identity.
When things are going well, it can feel exhilarating.
When they're not, it can feel like something much deeper than a career setback.
A rejection can feel personal. A creative block can feel frightening. A quiet period can make you question your worth. Comparison can make it difficult to appreciate where you are. And sometimes you may wonder, Who am I if I'm not creating, performing, or moving forward?
I understand the creative world personally.

As an artist myself, I know that creativity isn't just a hobby—it’s how you process the world. Traditional talk therapy can sometimes get stuck in the analytical mind. That’s why I integrate somatic, experiential, and Gestalt modalities to help you move past blocks, explore your immediate emotional experience, and access deeper, non-verbal healing."
My relationship with the creative arts began long before I became a therapist.
I studied music and theatre in college and spent my early years playing piano, singing, and acting. I lived in New York City while pursuing the creative arts and experienced firsthand the excitement, uncertainty, competition, and vulnerability that can come with putting yourself and your work out into the world.
Later, I moved to Los Angeles, where I worked within the entertainment industry at studios and management companies supporting artists and film.
These experiences gave me a personal understanding of the creative and entertainment worlds—not just the work itself, but the culture surrounding it.
I understand how deeply a creative career can become intertwined with identity, purpose, dreams, relationships, and your sense of self.
Creative fields can be complicated.
You may be navigating:
Creative blocks or loss of inspiration
Rejection, criticism, or fear of failure
Performance anxiety or pressure to be “on”
Comparison and self-doubt
Perfectionism and procrastination
Difficulty separating your worth from your work
Career uncertainty or a change in creative direction
The emotional ups and downs of an unpredictable industry
Success that doesn't feel the way you expected it to
Burnout from constantly having to create, perform, or prove yourself
A transition away from a creative career—or uncertainty about whether to stay
Feeling stuck between what you want to create and what you feel you should create
Sometimes the hardest part isn't the work itself.
It's learning how to keep creating without losing yourself in the process.
Making space for the person behind the work.
Therapy can be a place where you don't have to perform.
Together, we'll explore the beliefs, fears, and patterns that may be getting in the way of feeling connected to yourself and your creativity.
My approach is integrative and mind-body focused, drawing from somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM).
We'll look at both the practical and emotional realities of creative life while making space for the parts of you that may feel anxious, perfectionistic, self-critical, or afraid of what happens if you don't succeed.
The goal isn't to make you care less.
It's to help you create, perform, work, and live from a place that feels more grounded and connected to who you are.
You are more than what you create.
Your career may be an important part of you.
Your art may be deeply meaningful.
Your dreams may matter enormously.
But they don't have to determine your worth.
Therapy can help you build a relationship with yourself that remains steady through rejection and success, uncertainty and momentum, endings and new beginnings.
You don't have to choose between being ambitious and being well.
You can pursue meaningful work while also making room for a life beyond the work.
If you're a creative navigating self-doubt, burnout, career uncertainty, or simply trying to find your way back to yourself, I'd love to connect.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to talk about what you're experiencing and whether working together feels like the right fit.
