Therapy for Creatives
As a creative or professional, you know the pressures of performing, producing, and showing up day after day. Those in creative industries experience a unique set of issues that sometimes make life feel stressful, chaotic and can put pressure on close relationships. With over a decade spent working in the arts, my background affords me special insight into the stresses and nuances of the inner world of the creative, I understand how challenging life can feel, and therapy can be a space to finally breathe and find your balance. I combine talk therapy with somatic modalities to serve the personal and professional growth of clients in any life stage, creative field, or artistic discipline.
Together we can work on:
Letting go of stress, anxiety and depression
Expanding your confidence, flow and creative potential
Finding harmony between life, work and relationships
Resolving performance / public speaking anxiety
Dissolving creative & career blocks or paralysis
Eliminating self-doubt & negative self-talk
Overcoming perfectionism & imposter syndrome
Dealing with rejection
Learning the art of self-compassion
Developing a healthy relationship to money
Cultivating healthy relationships
Creativity & Performance Expansion
There is a strong connection between creativity and psychological health. For those impacted by trauma and painful past experiences, creativity can play an important role in survival, resilience, restoration, and recovery. In turn, creativity and confidence flow more freely when inner obstacles and blocks are dissolved. Trauma, when not processed and released, is often the root cause of creative and performance issues.
I have adapted contemporary models of trauma treatment to the creative dilemma and uses these techniques daily in my practice. I am excited to offer state of the art tools from Brainspotting, EMDR, Somatic Embodiment, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness to resolve the symptoms of performance anxiety, fear and depression associated with creative and performance blocks, as well as the traumas and wounds at the root. Brainspotting is one of the newest cutting-edge techniques for the treatment of trauma, and also in healing creative blocks and enhancing performance. This brain-body therapy is ideal for helping creatives heal from the past, ignite their talent, and pursue their dreams and career with all cylinders.
“A block is a pause on the path to healing. When Brainspotting heals an artist of their wounds, their spectrum of creativity widens dramatically”
