COUNSELLING FOR DANCERS, ARTISTS & ATHLETES

We all want to be seen, heard & truly understood. This is also what facilitates the strong therapeutic alliance needed for growth and change. I have been in the other chair in the therapy room and I know just how hard it is. We want to know that the person sitting across from us actually understands us and has lived experience. 

​

This is why I choose to focus on working with dancers, artists and athletes. I recall feeling so misunderstood the first time I went to therapy as I tried to explain the intricacies and nuances of the world I was from and why it shaped my views. Lived experience connects us. This is why my clients seek out my services- it's because I get it. I lived it. I continue to live it. 

​

I know deeply what it means to be involved in an early specialization sport, to grow up using your mind and body as a tool and to be deeply involved in arts, movement, sport...and I know the ambition, drive and perfectionism that accompanies them. I danced and choreographed professionally for over 12 years and know the challenges of what it takes to build a professional career in something that other people view as a hobby. 

​

And I am here for you through it. All of it. Mental health in sports, dance and the arts is crucial. We are meant to thrive, not to survive. I have my own story from this world that we share experiences from, and I am here to help you navigate yours;. You deserve it. 

​

Many of my clients are professional artists & athletes or are young and aspiring artists or athletes. This is the work that I live for. I would love to set up a free consultation with you to see how therapy can benefit you and help you thrive.
