Living your dream isn’t always easy. You don’t have to do it alone.
Therapy for musicians, creatives, and thoughtful adults.
Therapy for when life feels out of tune
Living our most adventurous life—including making music or any creative work—asks so much of us: courage, vulnerability, strength. And sometimes the very qualities which make us amazing at what we do also leave us feeling anxious, blocked, and disconnected from ourselves. Therapy can help you find your way back to balance, purpose, and joy in your art and in yourself.
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Kristin, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and classical musician. I help adults who want to better understand themselves, ease anxiety, and reconnect with their creativity and sense of meaning — both in everyday life and in their artistic work.
Whether you’re struggling with childhood trauma, musical trauma, performance anxiety, cultural adaptation, creative burnout, or the stress of trying to balance your artistic identity with everyday life, therapy can help you find what you are looking for.
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
-
I’m licensed to provide psychotherapy in Minnesota and currently offer secure telehealth sessions for adults throughout the state.
We will work together to find a way forward towards your individual goals—personal, musical, professional.
-
Developed by Dr. Helen Bonny in conjunction with Drs. Stanislav Grof and Walter Pahnke as part of the psychedelic research unit in the 1970’s. A depth-oriented, music-based method of exploring the unconscious and finding deep transformation and healing.

I opened my private practice in Kraków, Poland in 2021, and have had the privilege of working with clients from over 20 different countries on a variety of concerns, from childhood trauma to life enhancement.
My Approach
I approach therapy from a person-centered perspective, based on the belief that you are the expert on you—not me or anyone else. I intentionally hold a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed space where all of you is welcome to show up, be seen, heard, and heal.
I cultivate a warm, collaborative relationship with the inner life — blending traditional psychotherapy with creative and music-based methods, including the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music. Whether you’re navigating performance anxiety, creative blocks, or broader life challenges, our work together can help you find clarity, balance, and renewed connection to yourself and your art.
I also believe that there are no bad parts. Even the parts of us we most despise have good intentions, despite their misguided, and sometimes damaging, attempts to help.
My purpose is to facilitate a safe space where all parts are free to come as they are, and help those parts heal so you can live your most fulfilling life.
For Musicians and Creative Professionals
As artists, we passionately pour our full selves into what we create. What we don't always do is show up for ourselves in the same way. Therapy is a place for you—all of you—to be seen, heard, and heal in a compassionate, nonjudgemental space.
As a performing musician (viola da gamba) and expat, I understand the unique pressures of creative work — the perfectionism, the vulnerability of performance, and the relentless striving to “get it right.”
In our sessions, we can explore:
Stage fright and performance anxiety
Creative blocks and loss of motivation
Identity and self-worth as an artist
Relationships with your instrument, colleagues, or teachers
Stress, burnout, and life transitions
I also offer traditional psychotherapy alongside music psychotherapy in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music, a powerful experiential approach that uses music and imagery to access deep emotional insights and promote healing.
How can I support you?
Let’s Begin
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about what’s bringing you here and how we might work together.
Whether you need help during an artistic crisis, support surrounding a big move or before a big audition, coaching for stage fright, or want to do the deeper work of unpacking childhood trauma, this space is for you.
Please feel free to reach out and let me know what you are looking for. Together, we’ll explore your goals and whether I am a good fit for you.
