Are you a creative, tender soul struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship issues?

Do you measure your self-worth by…

• how much you achieve,

• how much you do for others, or

• how well you perform and meet the expectations of someone else?

And yet, no matter how much you have accomplished, how much you have done for others, and how much approval you have gained, you still…

• feel not good enough, flawed, or deficient

• feel insecure and undeserving of love

• feel you don’t fit in or belong

• feel like an imposter, a fraud

• have trouble feeling good or positive about yourself

• feel the need to censor or tone down your creative expressions out of fear of being “too big,” “too much,” “too powerful,” or “too out there”

• worry that if people were to discover the real you, they would run for the nearest exit and never return…

You feel stressed, anxious, and depressed, finding it increasingly difficult to manage all these intense feelings that you’ve tried very hard to keep at bay. You are tired of performing for others and managing their perceptions of you while not getting your own needs met. You want to feel happy and secure in your relationships, freely express your authentic self in life and creative endeavors, and most importantly, feel that you’re safe, okay, accepted, and loved just the way you are.

But when you look around, you see this fortress that you’ve built around you to protect yourself and keep everyone else at a safe distance. You realize you’ve hidden your real self inside for so long that even you have become a stranger to yourself. There is a sense of trepidation as you take a cautious peek inside. You see this fragile being hiding in there, and it has you worrying if it’s already beyond rescue or repair…

(spoiler alert: this fragile being is not the real you!)

I believe that in our true state of being, we are already brilliant and whole.

Therefore, my job as a therapist is not to “fix” or “cure” you, but to help you reconnect with your inner brilliance and wholeness in a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space, thus allowing your healing and growth to take place naturally.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the honor of helping many bright, creative, and talented souls heal from their past hurts and wounds, end their struggles with anxiety and depression, and express their uniqueness and originality.  

Through their work with me, many of my clients have been able to:

• Feel freer to be themselves and walk around feeling more comfortable in their own skin

• Feel more courageous and confident going after their goals and dreams

• Enjoy much more satisfying romantic and non-romantic relationships

• Make into reality career aspirations that they previously deemed out of reach (e.g., getting hired by their dream companies, promotions and career advancements, significant income jumps, etc.)

• Experience amazing results from expanded creativity and productivity (I’ve witnessed the birth of many books, music albums, exhibited artworks, stage performances, concerts, etc.)

• Pursue personal and professional passions with abandon

You might be curious about why I’m interested in doing the work I do…

I’ve always had a soft spot for creative, tender souls who want to make a difference in the world. It pains me to see them struggle with their worthiness while their brilliance is beckoning to emerge and shine its unique light in the world. Over the years I’ve witnessed firsthand the growth and transformation of many creative, tender souls whom I’ve had the privilege of working with. This is why I love what I do and get super excited about the possibilities the future holds for my clients (and for you!).
