About Therapy

“Every child is an artist. The problem is remaining an artist once we grow up.” – Pablo Picasso

What’s all this noise?!

You know what it’s like when the noise in your head is louder than the music?

When you wake up and you just can’t stop thinking:

“Where’s the happiness I was supposed to have at this time of my life? Why is it so hard to hold on to it? Why am I so confused about where I’m going in my relationships and career?”

Especially if you’re a high achiever or perfectionist…

It’s so easy to feel self-critical, anxious, maybe even depressed. Like you should know the answers to these questions already.

This is where creativity begins. But for so many of us – taught to be in control – this terrifies us.

We want to get as far away from ourselves as possible.

Befriending Yourself Again

My role is to help you listen and befriend the sides of yourself you thought were just nuisances. To help you learn what you truly need and want.

The process of therapy is like inviting all of your selves to have a conversation around the dinner table. We’re interested in which sides talk the most, which sides talk the least. And most importantly, which sides aren’t even allowed or welcome at the table itself.

All of Yourselves

I’ll help you hear them out and bring them back into the conversation, so you can find your motivation, passion, and voice again.

In the process, we’ll get to see the interesting and creative aspects of what was previously just noise.

You’ll learn how to riff with the various parts of yourself to make interesting music.

Finding our way back to being artists again…

Most people think that creativity is only meant for actual artists – writers, musicians, actors.

They forget that we all have a hidden artist ready and waiting, longing to be reconnected.

This creativity not only helps us resolve our ‘problems’ – the anxiety and depression – it also helps us find our passion and purpose again. It helps us answer those questions that have been haunting us.

Growing down and growing up…

So much pressure to be more fully formed than we really feel, to know more than we actually do.

Maybe it was parents, teachers, or the culture itself that made us feel this way. The problem is that it robs us of the source we need to live creatively.

We need to grow down to balance out the growing up process and to get to the questions that really need answering.

We need that to rediscover the artist Picasso mentioned.

A beautiful unfolding of yourself…

I believe therapy should be seriously playful… like when you feel so comfortable in a conversation that you riff back and forth together, surprised at how many different places you’ve gone.

I think therapy should leave you feeling refreshed… as if you’ve just had a good massage or a chiropractic adjustment. And not to worry… even if you’re a little sore, you know it’s going to open things up for the rest of your week.

Most of all, I think therapy should surprise you in all the wonderful ways that any good creative process does… just like good music improvisation or a fascinating novel.
