After beginning a career in the music industry at the age of eighteen, I embarked on a path of working with independent artists and labels to support their career and creative development. This pursuit began as a dream to foster artists’ passions and bring lesser-known music to the world. By my late twenties, I had become an executive at a well-known record label and was working with Grammy award-winning and internationally acclaimed bands. Yet the industry I found myself in was increasingly at odds with the person I am. The reality of ‘making it’ in the music business couldn’t be farther away from the reason I got involved in the first place – my ‘why’. I increasingly found myself burned out and feeling empty with a loss of meaning. When I looked around, I realized I had lost my identity and purpose and needed to make a change.

I observed that I was not alone in feeling alienated in the stressful environment of the music business. I realized that there was little to no resources for artists or industry professionals to receive mental and emotional support. In order to reconnect to my ‘why,’ I trained in therapeutic and contemplative practices for myself and began to share them with others around me. This began my journey of finding what would become a meaningful career and life. Although becoming a therapist meant I would ‘start over,’ I felt that I was igniting a spark into my soul and spirit. My mission now is to guide and support others in creating a meaningful life and taking the next steps in their own process. Whether that means finding more resources and support, meaning in life, creating a supportive container, or just exploring life’s questions together, my aim is to help everyone make the most of life, starting wherever they are.
