As a practicing artist, (30 years as a designer, visual artist and entrepreneur) I have a particular understanding of issues and situations affecting working creative professionals and people who identify as artists. My goal is to serve the creative community, as well as other clients, with mental health and wellness services. I work towards gaining a cultural, societal, and situational understanding of each persons' attitudes, beliefs, and desires in order to create awareness and therapeutic change. My approach is humanistic, and includes a variety of techniques. I hope that my encounters with clients can be transformational, not a transaction.
My practice has a concentration on working creative professionals and people who identify as artists, seeking to create awareness with a collaborative "therapeutic moment". Artists and creators are often subject to societal attitudes and misinformation that can be damaging to their relationships and their ability to work and create.
I specialize in talk therapy, stress reduction techniques, time management, and meditation training, (with over 15 years experience in and study of yoga practice and philosophy). I am open to alternative lifestyles based on practice, orientation, sexuality, or gender.
