Many of my clients are: Entertainers/Creatives facing issues with creative blockages, professional identity, job/gig networking, production processes, and goal setting/attainment - I have 16+ years in professional performance, fine, and commercial arts & production; Folks facing stressors related to gender, sexuality & intimacy, and relationship orientation - I am LGBTQ+, kink/fet, and CNM affirming; Folks who experienced religious abuse and/or require a safe place to explore their identity with spiritualism, paganism, metaphysics, and the occult - I am spiritually/mystically affirming; Folks with swim anxiety and fear.
Folks managing life milestone concerns, anxiety, depression & feeling stuck, relationship & familial distress, trauma, self-esteem challenges, identity concerns, religious abuse, grief & loss, ADHD, cancer & chronic illness, career/occupational stress, and swimming related anxiety.
Talking about difficult matters can be hard, but it can be a little easier to discuss them with someone you trust. My role is to be supportive, resourceful, authentic, and empathetic. Understanding that people are multifaceted is crucial: there’s no cookie-cutter fix for the challenges you may be facing, so your therapy should be tailored to your needs.
