I specialize in helping actors live and create from a freer place. Do you find yourself dreading performances, auditions, or networking? Maybe you find yourself playing small, unable to reach your creative potential because anxiety gets in the way? Some actors find that, even with the best preparation and training, a reactive nervous system keeps them from accessing their abilities in the moments it matters most. Some techniques and roles may stir up trauma. Healing makes it possible to do bold, honest work with more ease and enjoyment. I’ve had a lot of success using evidence-based methods to create lasting transformation.
Together, we will integrate evidence-based methods of therapy (such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, CBT, and ACT) to heal the strong reactivity keeping you (& your nervous system) stuck. Then, things that "shouldn't" bother you won't trigger those strong reactions, and you'll be free to act and live on your own terms.
The sessions are experiential: that is we engage in a healing process rather than only talking about it. I create a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s not working and bring you into alignment with your potential for well-being. You can schedule your first session and verify your insurance (if need be) in a few minutes using my website link!
