When Your Work Is Inseparable from Who You Are

You may be here because your work is not just what you do — it's tied to who you are.

Artists, musicians, performers, writers, and multi-hyphenates often live with a particular kind of uncertainty: creative cycles, financial instability, visibility anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to make something meaningful while also surviving. You may hold multiple roles, identities, or callings that don't fit conventional narratives — and you may have spent years trying to explain yourself to people who just don't quite get it.

For many highly sensitive (HSP) and neurodivergent adults — including those with ADHD, autism, or twice-exceptional profiles — this complexity runs even deeper. Your nervous system may process the world with an intensity that is both a gift and an overwhelming daily reality. Overstimulation, emotional flooding, rejection sensitive dysphoria, difficulty with transitions, or feeling perpetually out of sync with the pace of the world around you may all be familiar.

Overwhelm, burnout, and decision fatigue might be a constant part of your day-to-day. It can be hard to find support that takes all of this seriously — without trying to flatten you into something more manageable.

You May Have Learned to Cope By…

Tying your worth to output, recognition, or momentum

  • Pushing through burnout to stay relevant or afloat

  • Questioning whether your path is "legitimate"

  • Masking — performing neurotypicality to fit in, at great personal cost

  • Carrying the weight alone because few people truly understand your vision or your wiring

  • Swinging between hyperfocus and shutdown, creation and collapse

Over time, this can flatten joy, deepen self-doubt, and strain your relationship to your work — and yourself.

What Therapy Can Offer

In therapy, your creative life and your neurology are not treated as side notes.

We explore identity, sustainability, boundaries, meaning, and the emotional realities of creative, non-linear, and neurodivergent lives. This work isn't about forcing productivity or manufactured clarity — it's about helping you stay connected to yourself while navigating complexity, choices, and coherence on your unique path.

For neurodivergent and highly sensitive clients, this may include understanding your own nervous system patterns, developing self-compassion around the ways your brain works differently, and untangling internalized shame from years of being told you were "too much," "too sensitive," or "not enough."

Your path doesn't need to be justified here.

A Therapist Who Understands Multi-Passionate & Neurodivergent Adults

Therapist who is also a practicing artist performing on stage with vibrant projections, reflecting embodied, creative-informed therapy for artists and multi-hyphenates in California.

My work with artists, creatives, and multi-hyphenates is informed by both formal clinical training and lived experience.

In addition to being a licensed therapist, I am an actively practicing, internationally exhibited multidisciplinary artist with advanced graduate training in both art and mental health.

I understand firsthand the realities of sustaining creative work alongside multiple roles, income streams, identities, and obligations, often within systems that undervalue creative labor and were not built for neurodivergent minds.

This dual perspective allows me to support clients navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, ADHD and creativity, late autism diagnosis, visibility anxiety, financial instability, and identity fragmentation — with nuance and without judgment. My approach honors creativity not as a hobby but as a core organizing force in many people's lives. Therapy becomes a space to build sustainability, nervous system resilience, and self-trust, without asking you to abandon your creative, neurodivergent, or multi-hyphenate identity.
