Find a Therapist in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Therapy is a place to work through stuff with someone on the outside. I help men to be able to have tough conversations without losing it, have deep conversations without running away, and manage their mood for the long-haul. Feelings are uncomfortable. You've always been the person that's said "I'm just not good with feelings". You've been proud of this tough exterior because that's how you need to be to make it in this world. This has certainly been helpful in the workplace, but you're starting to see that this may not work so well in your relationships. People have a hard time getting close to you and you don't know how to get there. Reach out to start the conversation.

Psychotherapy is more simply called talk therapy. It can help support your mental health and emotional wellness. We work together to address internal thoughts and feelings, including memories and past experiences, that may be keeping you stuck. Therapy can help you take important steps in the right direction.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

Research studies have shown that psychotherapy or talk therapy is an effective treatment for a broad range of mental health issues such as depression, panic attacks, grief and loss, work stress, phobias, relationship difficulties, anxiety and worry, couple/marital distress, addictions and codependency, poor self-esteem, and survivors of trauma and abuse. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates a combination of evidenced based methodologies and techniques drawn from family systems, cognitive behavioural, and psychodynamic therapies. This combined approach to practice permits me to develop an individualized counselling program to meet the specific needs of clients. Some of the potential benefits people may experience include developing a more...(view profile to read more)

Delving more deeply into existential suffering by creating meaning making through creative approaches.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain positive mental health and well-being. I work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.
