A meaningful career should not have to come at the expense of your well-being.
Finding a therapist for musicians and creative professionals who also understands the realities of the music and entertainment industry can make a meaningful difference.
I work with musicians, artists, managers, executives, touring professionals and other creatives throughout California, with an understanding of the pressures that can come with creative careers.
Working in music and entertainment can be exciting, fulfilling and deeply demanding.
Artists and performers may navigate public visibility, creative pressure, performance anxiety, irregular schedules and the expectation to remain constantly productive.
Professionals working behind the scenes often carry a different but equally significant weight. You may be managing competing priorities, supporting others through high-stakes situations and trying to sustain yourself in an industry that rarely slows down.
Therapy can offer a grounded, confidential place to process what you are carrying, reconnect with yourself and build a career and life that feel more sustainable.
Industry Experience Matters
You should not have to explain the industry before you can begin talking about yourself.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade working across the music industry in artist management, record label marketing, live music, and touring.
That experience gives me a firsthand understanding of the culture, pace, personalities, blurred boundaries and pressures that can come with building a career in music and entertainment.
We can spend less time translating the realities of your work and more time focusing on what you need.
Who I Work With

The pressures of the industry can look different depending on your role. Your work may be the context, but therapy also leaves room for the parts of your life that have nothing to do with work.
