I assist individuals in gaining a self-awareness and deeper understanding
of themselves as artists. Such issues as creative block, procrastination,
self-destructive behaviors, depression & anxiety, self-doubt
and perfectionism can hinder one’s creative success as well
as one’s personal relationships. Working with the creative
person requires an understanding of the unique qualities of the
creative personality. In therapy I take in consideration such aspects
of the artists such as the need for individuality, non-linear thinking,
high-sensitivity, multi-facet and resistance to authority.
With 25 years in the field of arts as a designer, painter, dancer
and writer, I understand the unique challenges that accompany the
creative personality and living an artful life. I have had the pleasure
of working with creative individuals such as writers, musicians,
actors and artists. In my approach, coupled with traditional “talk
therapy,” I incorporate various techniques such as art therapy,
journaling and guided imagery.
I believe high sensitivity, essential in the creative process, can
co-exist with dealing effectively with inner conflicts. This can
be achieved without suppressing the vitality that leads to authentic
self-expression. I can assist the artist, writer or performer in
discovering that they can be both productive and creative within
a healthy, fulfilling life.
