Creatives
I grew up in a community of artists and spent my childhood and early career in the arts myself. In fact, when I first went to graduate school, I determined my focus would be on the unpredictability of having success at one moment, only to so often be followed by not knowing what's next. It is a life unlike most, often with very little stability, and consequently the onus of remaining grounded lies on the internal life of the person. I work collaboratively to develop the tools to maintain the inner esteem necessary to weather the challenges and joys of this lifestyle.
Psychotherapy is inherently creative. It involves a respect for the unknown and a faith in the process as it unfolds. Through collaboration and exploration, playfulness and humor, and most of all the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship, my work as a psychotherapist is as creatively fulfilling as any I have experienced.
