Therapy for Creative Professionals

Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades building a career as a professional musician, songwriter, touring artist, composer, and creative collaborator.

I released four full-length albums, toured extensively throughout the United States, and later composed music for film, television, advertising, and digital media. My work has been featured in national and international campaigns for brands including McDonald's, Disney, Facebook, Toyota, Porsche, Audi, Chevrolet, American Express, Boeing, Michelin, and Dairy Queen. I also created original music for Facebook and TikTok creator platforms, helping content creators connect with audiences through music and storytelling. My music has appeared across television and digital media, including NBC, FOX, Discovery Channel, History Channel, Showtime, HGTV, and other major networks and platforms.

Because of this background, I have a firsthand understanding of the unique challenges that creative professionals often face. The pressure to perform, periods of uncertainty between projects, financial instability, creative blocks, self-doubt, rejection, burnout, perfectionism, and the ongoing tension between artistic fulfillment and professional success are realities I know personally.

Creative work often becomes deeply intertwined with identity. When a project succeeds, it can feel deeply validating. When opportunities disappear, criticism arrives, or inspiration fades, it can feel deeply personal. Many artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, designers, performers, producers, and entrepreneurs carry invisible burdens while appearing successful on the surface.

My experience allows me to approach this work not only as a therapist, but as someone who has spent years navigating the creative industries. I understand the language, culture, demands, deadlines, uncertainty, and emotional landscape of creative work.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, questions of purpose, or the complexities of maintaining a creative career, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most.
