As a long time industry veteran, including years of being surrounded by highly dysfunctional behavior in recording studios, I understand the stress, hours, and pressure that creative people face. Whether its depression, abusive bosses, or creative blocks, we can work on unraveling the problems and getting through them. Similar to the "man behind the curtain" in the Wizard of Oz, there may be subconscious factors that are influencing your feelings, thoughts and decisions on a daily basis. Together we may be able to identify and neutralize any of these hidden or mysterious issues that appear to be holding you back.

Somatic Experiencing and EMDR address trauma stored in the body. A person w/PTSD or addiction cannot "think" their way out of it, or they would have done it already. The thinking part of the brain does not access the nervous system (in a manner of speaking), so the trauma must be addressed using sensation and movement. Feel free to contact me for more info :)

We would start by discussing whatever it was that led you to therapy. Then I would talk about how what I call "the invisible psychological forces" work. After this I would probably ask about positive things you've done, times you've overcome negative situations, environments you like, etc. We need to do this prior to getting into any traumatic things. This allows you to feel safe, and it facilitates more effective treatment.
