Individual Work ยท Families ยท Narrative Support
For the creative. The curious. The in-between.
Being creative and curious means building a life out of ideas, uncertainty, and the relentless pressure to make something worth making. That is extraordinary work. It also asks a lot of you.
This is a space to think, feel, and figure out what's next, with someone who understands the particular texture of a life built on creativity, curiosity, and constant change.
Who This Is For
People who see the world differently.
Artists, writers, musicians, academics, entrepreneurs, students, and the people who don't fit neatly into any of those categories but recognize themselves in all of them. People whose inner life is rich and whose outer life doesn't always know what to do with that.
Families in the middle of memory change, caregiving, or a transition nobody prepared for. People standing at a threshold between who they were and who they are becoming.
The work is personalized and clinically informed. It draws on narrative psychology, family systems thinking, somatic approaches, and object-based work to help you make sense of what's happening, in your work, your relationships, and the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you're capable of.
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from this kind of support. You just have to be someone who takes their inner life seriously.
The Connection
Creativity and identity are threshold work.
Most of my professional work is about what happens to people when life changes in ways they didn't entirely choose, when identity feels less steady, when the sense of who someone has been gets harder to hold onto.
That is also the texture of a creative life. The in-between of projects. The question of whether the next thing will be good enough. The way rejection hits differently when the work is personal. The identity shift of finishing something you cared about and not knowing what comes next.
Creativity is how many people stay most fully themselves. When that feels blocked, or fragile, or uncertain, it's not a productivity problem. It's an identity question. And that's exactly the territory I work in.
What We Might Work On
Every engagement is different.
These are some of the areas that come up most often with creative and curious people.
The Work
How we work together.
I use a mix of conversational and somatic approaches, drawn from a clinical background that spans narrative therapy, family systems, EMDR, and expressive arts. The approach is tailored to you, not to a protocol.
Primary approaches
Supporting approaches
Two ways in
Therapeutic Coaching or Narrative Coaching.
Therapeutic Coaching
A relationally grounded process of exploring what's happening beneath the surface โ the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that shape how you move through your work and your life. Clinically informed, deeply personal, and tailored to where you are right now.
Narrative Coaching
A forward-focused approach that works with the stories you tell yourself, the beliefs that limit you, and the narrative you want to move toward. Particularly useful for people seeking personal growth, exploring what comes next, or working through a significant transition.
Sessions are held via a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. On-location sessions can also be arranged where appropriate. Rates start at $225 per session.
Common Questions
What to know before we start.
A 15-minute consultation is free and a good place to start if you're not sure this is the right fit.
What if I'm not a creative or academic?
Whether you're an artist, a student, a business professional, or anyone navigating life's complexities, the support is tailored to you. The focus on creativity and curiosity reflects where much of this work tends to live, but it is not a requirement. If it resonates, reach out.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are held virtually via a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. On-location sessions can also be arranged where appropriate.
Do you accept insurance?
I am not currently on any insurance panels. However, most insurance carriers will accept my services as an Out-of-Network provider. To find out how to access your out-of-network benefits, contact the toll-free number for mental health benefits on your insurance card.
What are your rates?
Sessions start at $225 per hour. If you have questions about rates or options, please reach out directly. The 15-minute consultation is free.
What are your qualifications?
I hold a PhD in Media Psychology, a Master of Human Services in Social Gerontology, and an MA in Psychology, alongside certification as a Marriage and Family Therapist and in Experience Design.
My clinical training includes advanced work in narrative therapy, EMDR, systemic art and play therapy, psychological first aid, and trauma-informed care. I have spent my career at the intersection of psychology, media, and human experience, which means I understand, in a practical way, the particular pressures of a life built on creativity and ideas.
