Psychotherapist
You are not the problem.
The problem is the problem.
Before I went to therapy I was suffering with depression, burnout, anxiety, addiction and more. But I would soon experience the power of working with a pro, and it saved my life. I'd be honored to help you like my therapist helped me.
I offer practical solutions you can start using right away, as well as a safe space to let it all out and explore the root of your challenges. I like to be collaborative, and I won't sit in silence and occasionally ask "what do YOU think you should do?". We're gonna tackle your stuff together and get you moving in your desired direction.
In addition to my extensive experience working with teens and adults, my 10+ years in the entertainment industry provides me with personal insight to help those in the creative community. You can reauthor your story, and it can start like this: You are not the problem, the problem is the problem.
Areas of Expertise
ADHD
Having ADHD myself, I understand how incredibly frustrating it can be. The ADHD brain has a dopamine deficiency that can cause distractibility, difficulty completing tasks, time blindness, disorganization and more. But ADHD can be a gift rather than a curse. And with the right help- the gift can make you thrive. I have extensive experiencing helping teens and adults both manage their symptoms and use them to their advantage.
Addiction & Substance Use
Addiction doesn't need to take over your life. If you're ready for change, you can do it, and I can help if you'd like. If you're NOT ready, I get it, and I'll still be on your side. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have equipped me with more tools than my masters degree ever could. I'm ready when you are.
Anxiety
Anxiety sucks. But there are tools you can use right away to make it suck less. And when the fog of anxiety clears, we can search for the source of the problem and make it practically suck free. Have I said suck too much? Let's get to work.
Creative Blocks & Artist Related Stress
Your next idea already exists, it just needs to be revealed. That melody, that joke, that painting, poem, novel, script or design... it has come to you before and it will happen again. So let's explore your life, mind, emotions etc. and see what there is to find. Having made a living as an artist/performer myself, I can use my personal insight to help you on your path. If this resonates with you, you resonate with me. And I'm excited to begin.
Depression
Many therapists recommend quickly getting into action with exercise, meditation, socializing, etc. These are certainly effective! But sometimes it's best to honor your depression. Healing might actually begin by doing things our society unjustly shames us for, like sleeping in, drawing the shades, or eating that pint of ice cream. My clients often feel immediate relief at the thought of this. And from there, the healing continues.
Teens & Young Adults
I have extensive experience working with teens & young adults who face challenges with depression, anxiety, substance use, ADHD, relationships, academic stress and more. Forming an identity is crucial to this age group, and I've had the honor of guiding many young people through the process. Their future is bright if they get the support they need.
