About My Clients
I prioritize people who are ready to lean in, to the best of their ability, to explore their internal world with empathy and honesty… and who want to be challenged when the time is right. After years of working in TV writers' rooms, I understand the unique challenges of the entertainment industry. I empathize with patterns of overthinking, overwhelm, and uncertainty. I know the struggle of being a creative person with a vision, and the barriers we face in creating the life we want.
My Background and Approach
I have a Master of Clinical Social Work degree from Loyola University Chicago with a minor in Addiction Counseling. I have worked with people in early recovery, guiding them through shame, self-acceptance, creating routines of self-care, and breaking the old patterns that lead to old behaviors. I've also worked as a TV writer, navigating the entertainment industry. I now work with people who are building and working to sustain a creative career that involves uncertainty, the ability to budget for indefinite times of hiatus between seasons or jobs, and the management of anxiety. I also play volleyball and used to coach, so I understand the plight of an athlete.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
One aspect of my purpose is social justice, believing that everyone deserves equal rights. I support the Black Lives Matter movement, I support every member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I believe every human being deserves kindness, compassion, empathy, and understanding.
