I help performing artists overcome anxieties and fears, empowering them to express their most joyful and authentic selves both onstage and offstage.
I'm a classical singer who continues to perform professionally, as well as a licensed therapist and a performance anxiety coach. I intimately understand both sides of the performer's life: the hard work and dedication we must employ in order to succeed, but also the inner struggles we have along the way.
I've been on both sides of the issue: I have struggled with my own performance anxiety yet have also had fearless and proud moments where I was able to give my best. I've bombed auditions due to nerves, but I've also learned opera roles overnight and jumped in for sick colleagues with a day's notice. I'm still learning about myself and evolving as a performer.
I've spent thousands of hours engaged in therapy with clients whose issues range from coping with the stressors of life to severe trauma and mental illness. I connect deeply with people from the heart and support my therapeutic intuition with evidence-based methods and coaching strategies.
I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in vocal performance, as well as a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in the state of New Mexico, and I am also currently working towards my BCC (Board Certified Coach) and am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) through Coach Training World. I have an active speaking career, presenting on stage fright and performance anxiety at colleges and institutions all over the country.
Let me guide you in creating a plan to become the performer you've always wanted to be.
I want to help you on your path to Courageous Artistry.
