About

I help creatives move through self-doubt, burnout, creative paralysis, and anxiety. We uncover what's really holding you back and reconnect you with the passion that first drew you to your craft. Together, we explore the pressures of today's creative world: feast-or-famine cycles, the shifting ground under your feet, and the ongoing uncertainty of carving your own path. I also specialize in working with young adults navigating big transitions and life decisions. I help you find clarity, confidence, and authentic direction. Most people walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and more in flow with their work and their life. I’m not only a therapist but also a creative. With over 15+ years in the music industry, I founded Connection is Magic, a 501(c)(3) non-profit supporting artists facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, isolation, procrastination, and the unique challenges of creative life. If you’re ready to feel understood, supported, and rediscover your creative energy, I’d be honored to walk with you on this next chapter of your journey. Credentials & Experience: I am trauma-informed and person-centered.

"I use Narrative, Rogerian, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused therapies to help you explore your story and move toward your goals. You'll find a warm, collaborative space where your perspective guides the process and meaningful change feels possible."
