Creative Professionals

As a former professional creative, I understand the unique and complex perspective and challenges of creative professionals. Creative blocks. Survival jobs. Nonlinear career trajectories. Trappings (and incentives) of fame and celebrity culture -- including difficulties navigating a public versus private persona. It can be hard to feel deeply understood by people outside your profession, and just as hard to know who to trust within it.

I get it.

I understand the unique rewards and demands of the creative professions, celebrate the creative mind and spirit, and am prepared to guide you in remaining available to creative inspiration without compromising your health and happiness.

Take your first step here.

“We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as a weakness, when it’s actually a strength. It’s not a weak move to say, ‘I need help.’ In the long run it’s way better, because you have to fix it.” 
​

— Jon Hamm, actor (IN STYLE, June 2017)

"Go to therapy. Clean up all of the s---. Clean up all of the toxins and the noise. Understand who you are. Educate yourself on the self." 
​​-- Jennifer Aniston (GLAMOUR​, July 2013)
