Contrary to popular psychology, believing that just the right psychological theory, intervention and technique will act like a health-care “magic pill” that can make one’s worries suddenly disappear is mistaken. Most of the therapeutic change that happens during psychotherapy is due to the therapeutic alliance: rapport, relationship and resources. Rapport is about the connection the client and therapist feel for each other. Relationship is about the constructive cognitive/emotional exchanges and trust that a client and therapist build up over time. Resources are about how the therapist helps the client activate their existing emotions, thoughts and behaviours in service to healthy change.

I am committed to offering a therapy that combines the science of psychology and the art of connection. While there are many "evidence-based" therapies and strategies, we know that effective tools must be paired with a strong relationship between you and your therapist. While I offer guidance and strategies to provide immediate relief, I also ensure that you feel comfortable using authenticity, humour, gentler challenging and compassion to establish trust. Your gifts and imperfections offer a wildly unique gift to the world, and I want to help you embrace this.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns.

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.

I have over 25 years of experience with many types of people from different cultures & backgrounds. I believe most people have a mixture of complex emotions & complicated life experiences.

I help people develop ways of reflecting on what has been, what is, and what might be. This opens the possibilities for more choices in life. Your life can be different if you want it to be.

Psychotherapy is a broad term to refer to counselling or talk therapy approaches to address any area of pain in our lives. Psychotherapy can include focusing on a specific stressor, like workplace issues or coping with loss, dealing with specific relationships such as couples counselling or learning how to set boundaries with your family of origin, or focus more on enhancing your life if things are feeling not quite right. You can expect to have conversations that include learning new skills and strategies, opportunity to try new skills in the session, and action items to practice in between sessions to support you towards your goals.

Therapy using a variety of methods can help you experience relief from distressing symptoms and resolve, or learn to deal with, problems of life. In an accepting relationship I facilitate healing by listening to your unique story and by sensitively helping you work through deeply personal, and often highly uncomfortable, topics. Even though the tendency is to resist anything that is painful, when you feel what you have been trying to avoid and discover insight about what has been causing your personal and/or relationship difficulties, you are better able to make the changes you want.
