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 offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

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. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

Because we attend to the current needs of clients, in addition to their long term goals, therapy tends to have greater long lasting results.

Far too many people seek therapy only to have it 'not work' or work just temporarily. For a holistic, strength based, research informed approach, Living Well is the ideal place to seek help.

My approach to counselling is threefold. Aspect # 1 ... my office needs to be a place of safety where clients are free to process their issues free of Judgment, Force, Expectations, or Filters being placed upon them. Aspect # 2 ... I never tell people what to do. Instead, I will “come alongside” as a fellow human being to listen, rephrase, suggest and challenge. Aspect # 3 ... Behaviors and Feelings stem from Core Beliefs. These Core beliefs (either healthy or unhealthy, need to be explored, processed and at times challenged. Counselling for Healthy beliefs is about boundary setting. Counselling for unhealthy beliefs is about challenging them.
