As an artist, I understand the life-long vitality of artistic growth, & the importance of creativity to one’s perception of the world. As a professional counselor, I treat issues unique to artists, performers and other creative individuals. I encourage my clients to work with the highs/lows of the creative process, integrate them, and channel them appropriately through their art. Let’s explore ways to balance intense periods of creative work with healthy self-care and self-compassion. See more on my website on ways I can support you on your artist’s journey.
I have been a certified grief therapist since 2003, and I have companioned individuals & families as they journey through their landscape of loss, whether it is the death of a loved one, a debilitating injury, a divorce, a terminal illness or any other type of significant personal loss. A grief journey is unique to each person, and there is no timetable.
I will explore with my clients ways to live with grief, to carve out ways for pain & love to coexist. Let’s explore ways to come to yourself with kindness, to build upon what you already know about yourself, and find meaningful ways to live alongside your loss.
