About
I spent a decade working in music—across A&R, artist management, and partnerships—helping creative teams figure out how to build things that last. Over that time, I kept noticing the same pattern: the people doing the work were burning out, boundaries were disappearing, and there was no real infrastructure to support them. Not surface-level perks. Actual support.
That structural gap is what led me back to school. I am currently completing a Master’s in Social Work at Hunter College, focusing specifically on the intersection of mental health and creative industries.
I believe the best work doesn't happen in spite of your well-being, but because of it. Creative industries ask a lot of people who rarely ask for anything in return. The burnout gets normalized. The boundaries collapse. The financial instability, the emotional labor, the weight of carrying other people's work — it accumulates, and most people don't have anywhere to put it.
Halfscale exists for that gap. The space between strategy and care, between ambition and sustainability. I work with people in music and creative industries who want to stay in it for the long haul — not just survive it, but actually build a relationship with their work that they can maintain over time.
This isn't therapy. It's coaching, grounded in real industry experience and clinical training. And it's built around the belief that you shouldn't have to choose between the work and yourself.
