Hailing from the early 2000s indie/punk music scene, I spent the majority of my 20's in between the recording studio and an un-airconditioned van. I balanced long tours with long distance relationships and had to negotiate between survival on the road and thriving in my creative work. The pressure of maintaining a headspace to stay prolific in my art while paying the rent is a struggle I know far too well.

In 2012, I was faced with an impossible choice. Both music and my passion for psychology came to a head when the band was signed the same week that I was accepted into Graduate School. I opened two bottles of champagne that week when I made the decision to pursue both callings. Like a good Jungian, I have held the balance of these two paths since that moment.

Although my days on the road ended when I started my private practice eight years ago, I still make time to write music and paint as my primary methods of connecting with the unconscious.
