Hi, I'm Lia. I'm Licensed Clinical Social Worker and specialize in working with creative people who struggle to access the full and authentic lives that they desire. Creativity has always been an essential part of how I approach living, and I am acquainted with the barriers that many of us encounter in life to expressing ourselves creatively. I am grateful and thrilled to be doing this work.
My approach is designed for the unique needs of creative people. You are a creative if you are often moved to bring something new into being from the material of your life. As creatives, we feel and think deeply, are attuned to others, and absorb a lot from the environment. We yearn to live authentically, but may suffer when our values and actions are misaligned. These struggles may make us vulnerable to anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, burnout, social expectations, and/or perfectionism.
In our therapy sessions, we will examine what's important to you, as well as what gets in your way of living in alignment with your values. We will collaboratively set goals based upon what you value most, and come up with tangible practices to work toward these goals in your daily life. You will also learn ways to tune into yourself and the world around you that minimize overwhelm as a receptive and empathetic person, but still honor your inherent openness, empathy, and creativity.
