Creative people live close to the surface. The same sensitivity that makes your work possible — the attunement to beauty, to emotional texture, to what others miss — can also make daily life overwhelming. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure to produce can slowly erode the joy and freedom that drew you to your art in the first place.

I work with artists, musicians, actors, writers, filmmakers, and other creative professionals who are navigating:
- Creative block or loss of inspiration
- Anxiety and perfectionism that interfere with making work
- The tension between artistic ambition and financial reality
- Imposter syndrome and chronic self-doubt
- Career transitions — between creative and non-creative work, or between artistic disciplines
- The emotional toll of living in a culture that does not always value what you do
- Grief, loss, or personal upheaval that has disrupted your creative life
- The relationship between your identity and your work

As a jazz pianist, puppeteer, and writer myself, I understand the creative life from the inside. My clinical work with artists is informed by years of improvisation and performance, and by my training in Gestalt therapy — an approach rooted in presence, spontaneity, and the belief that awareness itself is transformative.

This is not career coaching. It is a deeper inquiry into what your creative life is asking of you, what it costs you, and what it means to keep making work in a world that often makes that difficult. We explore the relationship between your art and your anxiety, your creativity and your self-protection, your deepest impulses and the voices that tell you to play it safe.
