My Approach to Helping

For creatives, the act of creating is as complex as it is sacred. You work in a world where imagination must be boundless, emotions accessible, and resilience ever-present in the face of numerous rejections. It has been my honor and privilege to support many of the extraordinary voices behind film, television, and the fine arts—writers, showrunners, filmmakers, directors, actors, costume designers, and creative executives. Each has a unique journey, yet all share the vulnerability and intensity that the creative life demands.

I understand that to be a creative professional means navigating the challenges related to art and commerce, self-doubt, rejection, worklife balance and uncertainty. Whether you’re immersed in the quiet solitude of writing a spec script or coordinating with others on a complex set, the process is uniquely yours—and it deserves a space of reflection and support.

I’m a firm believer that healing begins when we let ourselves be seen—really seen—for who we are. Therapy isn’t about fixing; it’s about becoming. It’s about peeling back the layers of expectations, fears, and self-doubt to reconnect with what truly matters to you. In this space, we’ll explore how you’ve internalized messages from family, culture, or society, and work toward letting go of what no longer serves you. The goal is to help you cultivate a sense of belonging within yourself so that you can live a life filled with meaningful work, deep relationships, and authentic joy.

Therapy for creatives, women's issues, ethical non-monogamy and therapy for therapists are some of my main areas of focus. I am also certified in EMDR and approach all my work through a trauma informed lens. Call or email me today if you have questions or wish to explore if we are a strong fit.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Therapy can help you to:
Challenge Cultural Norms: We'll look closely at the beliefs that have shaped you, sifting through those that no longer serve, to find those that feel authentically yours. Therapy is a space to explore a different path, where your worth is not measured by how much you give, but by how fully you live.

Set Boundaries: You deserve relationships and roles that honor your needs, not drain you. Together, we'll create boundaries that respect your time, energy, and emotional health, allowing you to show up in a way that feels sustainable and true.

Rediscover Your Voice: Beneath the many roles, there is a voice that is uniquely yours. Therapy invites you to reconnect with this voice, to nurture your desires, and to create a life aligned with your true values, on your own terms.

My Role as a Therapist

As a clinician, I will engage with you actively by asking you questions, listening carefully, and pointing out ways that you may self-sabotage. My approach integrates concepts from modern psychodynamic theory to help you understand how your past experiences and unconscious mind shape your current feelings and behaviors. Psychodynamic theory, as well as any other theory I may utilize, has been updated to be fully relevant and affirmative for individuals from diverse cultures and sexual orientations.
