About this Service

Are you navigating the unique pressures of a creative career - audition anxiety, performance blocks, impostor syndrome, or the emotional toll of freelance instability? I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in the mental health needs of artists and performers.

I work with actors, dancers, musicians, writers, and other artists addressing:

Performance anxiety and creative blocks
Career transitions and professional identity
The psychological demands of auditions and rejection
Substance use, eating disorders, and relational trauma
Balancing artistic passion with financial reality

Currently offering telehealth sessions. Hoping to add in-person availability in NYC starting in February.

If you're looking for someone who understands the creative life - not just conceptually, but clinically - let's talk.
