Specialties

Artists' mental health - Powerful feelings are part of the Creative Person's natural experience. Too often, Creative People are told to suppress or control these important assets to their creativity. This is not a lasting solution for your mental health. You can learn to work with, not against, the powerful emotions that are a vital part of how you experience the world!

Life purpose & meaning - Overwhelm and emptiness are some of the most common feelings misdiagnosed in Creative People- you may have tried to understand them yourself under traditional definitions of depression and anxiety. You are experiencing a lack of meaningfulness and purposefulness in your life. Meaningfulness and purposefulness are vital to your happiness and success and through Creativity Counseling, they can be nourished and restored.

Creative blocks & writer's block - Its a blinking cursor again. Another blank canvas. You have a story in your heart, but no words in your mind. Perfectionism, procrastination, and self-doubt are common causes of creative blocks. With Creativity Counseling and Creativity Coaching you can build self-awareness and skills to accomplish goals and fuel creativity.

Performance anxiety - The anticipation! Your body knows you are about to do something major, even before your brain does, and begins to ramp up, without your permission, every time. Underperforming, due to anxiety, strong inner critic, analysis paralysis, high expectations, and perfectionism is common to Creative Performers. Skills in Creativity Counseling and Creativity Coaching can help you retrain your body and mind to perform with ease.

Depression - Stop being so dramatic. Pull yourself together. Just stop being so sad. What if the best thing you could do for your sadness is to allow it? Creative People feel things deeply, and your powerful feelings are an important part of how you experience the world. Using tools like mindfulness, Creativity Counseling can support and promote healing of hopelessness, low motivation and energy, sadness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest and pleasure in life.

Life transitions - I dare you to live out your creative fantasy. You have experienced success in your life and you don't want to rock the boat. After all, you really should feel grateful for what you have. But, something is missing. You feel an emptiness. Creative People have the bravery to face the challenges of doing more: coping with difficult or impactful life changes, such as moving to a new area, relationship transitions, child-rearing, or career changes; learning self-care & better managing stress.
