Art tends to draw in people who are inventive and emotionally complex, often non-conforming and unconventional. As an artist, you use your sensitivity and imagination to move your audience, be it  through word, movement, sound, object, visual, or any other form of creative expression. Creating and performing can be profoundly satisfying. At the same time, it can be daunting and anxiety-provoking. Like many artists, you might experience blockages in your creative flow at times. You might also have difficulty maintaining sustainable lifestyle and balancing your craft with family/relationships and other areas of your life.

Depending on your needs, I can help you:

1. •Align your creative goals with your resources, both internal and external
   

2. •Establish a clear career direction in arts and outline steps to progress in it
   

3. •Identify and utilize supports that can enhance your creativity and performance
   

4. •Develop strategies for overcoming blocks in creativity and self-expression (writer’s block, performance anxiety, stage fright, etc.)
   

5. •Develop sustainable confidence and motivation
   

6. •Learn to convert your emotions, including those that are often referred to as “negative” (anger, fear, jealousy, etc.) into a source of inspiration
   

7. •Learn to utilize your interpersonal relationships to enrich your artistic career
   

8. •Develop strategies for overcoming potentially self-destructive lifestyle choices (using food, alcohol, and other substances to regulate your emotions, being in an abusive relationship, being reckless with finances, etc.)
   

9. •Organize other areas of your life (family, relationships, school, and work) in a way that is supportive of your artistic career
