About My Clients

You're good at the work. You've built a career on your creativity. But behind the deadlines and the ideas, your brain feels like it has 40 tabs open, and the anxiety is starting to cost you sleep, focus and the joy that got you here. I work with designers, creative directors, founders, writers, musicians, producers and the people who run agencies.

My Background and Approach

I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, plus EMDR when it fits. I also draw on expressive arts from my life as a songwriter, and on years of teaching meditation in a secular way. The result is therapy that's practical, creative, and built around how you actually live and work. Together we work on focus and follow-through, the worry and self-criticism that ride along with ADHD, and the burnout that comes from running on adrenaline. You'll leave with tools you can try the same week. I'm a working songwriter and producer with 25 years as a recording engineer. I've been a licensed therapist for 12 years and teach psychotherapy at the university level. I'm not going to make you less creative. I'll help you make it sustainable. Sessions are $200, in person in downtown St. Pete or online anywhere in Florida. I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Reach out for a free 15-minute consult.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people are not a diagnosis. i believe people are healthy, loving, OK and compassionate at their core. I believe all human beings have basic goodness as the basis of their being. I believe counseling isn't just about "getting rid of the bad"... it's about getting in contact with the whole being of a person and helping them see just how healthy and ready to thrive they are.
