Why The Hippy Counselor?
Upon completing my degree in Counseling, I found myself bored with the mundane world of counseling (Go Figure). I wanted to be able to explore my creative side while still staying true to my passion as a Mental Health Advocate and Holistic Healer. I moved to California, picked up a 2nd Masters in Entertainment Business and fell in love with Counseling all over again through acting classes at Tasha Smith Actor Workshop(TSAW). I realized how therapeutic acting was and how I can use it in my professional career. I found a way to connect my creativity with being a Counselor or what I prefer to be called a
Creative Accountability Partner!
I work with artists and creative professionals who are at the beginning, middle and advanced stages of their careers who struggle with aspects of personal and professional purpose.
Through my professional experiences as a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach, my personal experience working in the Music, TV/Film and the Creative Writing world, along with my degrees in Psychology, Counseling and Entertainment Business; I work with clients to create more active, healthy and creative lives. Personally and Professionally!
