Welcome!

My name is Devorah and I now refer to myself as a Creativity Mentor because to me it describes what I do better than counsellor, psychotherapist, or coach, though it involves being these as well, at times.

Everyone is creative and to be intentionally creative has benefits for mental and physical health and more. Basically, creativity is living authentically. Being our true selves is a creative process, though many struggle with this given all the outward - and inward - pressures to perform and live up to expectations. Some choose to engage in creative activities, whether it be painting, gardening, cooking, or playing a musical instrument, etc. And there are those who dedicate themselves to their art. As a Creativity Mentor, I work with individuals who are involved in any or all of these ways of being creative.

Self doubt, feeling lost or blocked, lacking inspiration, and feeling isolated and/or misunderstood, are just a few of the challenges that come up for people on a creative path, whether they call themselves artists or not. More joy, engagement, self trust, belonging, and a sense of a meaningful and purposeful life are some of the benefits of a creative path.

As a Jungian oriented psychotherapist for over thirty years, specializing in working with people in the arts, I am familiar with the wide range of challenges as well as joys of the creative life. As a painter and writer, I have faced many of these challenges myself, and also know personally, the aliveness and awe such a life can bring.
