I work with creatives and entrepreneurs who making a living from their craft. You may be building your career, considering a complete career shift, or struggling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and/or isolation. Regardless of where you are, the future unknowns can be unsettling. Bravely following your creative vision and passion projects, while supporting yourself and others can be both exhilarating and challenging. I specialize in working with individuals with ADHD, who are often creatives, entrepreneurs, and others the in music, film/tv, & entertainment.
As a former artist manager, I've had the honor of guiding musicians, producers, and other creatives through the chaotic pressures of self employment. I understand the tenacity it takes to survive. We'll work collaboratively to investigate, discuss, and deconstruct the complexities of your circumstances to work toward specific solutions tailored just for you.
My approach is empathetic, engaging, solution-focused, and client-centered. We'll think together to explore patterns that may be aiding or delaying the outcomes you desire for your life. I believe you can regain your voice and vision, as well as a sense of self-worth, calm, and freedom while trusting the unknown. I wouldn’t do this work if I didn’t.
