Counseling for Artists and Musicians

Artists, musicians, writers, and other creative types face a number of unique challenges in life.  Our passions fire us, fuel us, and fill us with a sense of wonder, but they can also lead to frustrations, challenges, and heartache. Some issues we can approach together may include:

​

• Creative block

• Change in the relationship ("falling out of love") with our art

• Finding/rediscovering meaning and purpose in the work

• Balancing creative pursuits with relationships, work, and other activities

• Finding the physical and mental space to create

• Burnout

• Painful comparison to other artists

• Navigating the complex relationship between money and the creation of art

• Values-based conflicts between artists, dominant cultural values, and the values of friends and family members

• Major life changes (having children, caring for loved ones, etc.) and finding the time for artistic pursuits

​​

I recognize that many artists may not have a steady income. If my rates feel out of reach for you, please contact me as I am flexible with my sliding scale. I am also flexible with scheduling and can see clients every two weeks if that is preferable.
