Find a Therapist in Laguna Woods, California.

I enjoy the approaches of Love Attachment, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Humanistic, and Mindfulness practices to provide a therapeutic connection between mind and body. My background in meditation, martial arts (Aikido), and yoga help to further facilitate the mind-body approach for a better functioning mind-body-spiritual system. I believe psychotherapy to be an experiential platform to help support our growth with depth and sustainability.

Do you have a behavior, belief or irrational thought that you'd like to change? We often learn the "rules" of life from our family of origin. Sometimes it's believed that these "rules" are the truth; however, these "rules" are how we make it through our families. It is once these rules no longer work for us that we need to change them so we can live life differently and often better. It's not easy to make these changes but it is fully doable and I can help you with these changes. Let me help guide you. Start by calling me at 714-432-9856.

I believe the most important dimension of healing is an effective and compassionate connection. With empathy and understanding, I seek to help clients learn to recognize difficult patterns and cultivate the skills to overcome those patterns. Together, we can work to enable greater personal freedom and awareness, which in turn, help to facilitate effective responses to all of life's challenges.

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 a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health provider. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

There are many approaches to therapy and many clinical terms that you may see when looking for counseling. In my experience, and in the research available to us today, it is the client and therapist relationship that is most responsible for a successful outcome. To that end, I appreciate spending some initial time with my clients to understand their needs and goals and to establish a strong alliance for our work. From there, I employ a variety of tools and methods to support those goals, tailoring our work to each client's specific needs.

Psychotherapy can be a frightening word because “psycho” brings up images of Norman Bates and he is certainly someone none of us want to be associated with. The truth is that psychotherapy is just a fancy word for counseling. If “therapy” is used alone, people ask if it is physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. A prefix was needed to distinguish it from other therapies and unfortunately “psycho” was chosen. Please don’t let the word stop you from seeking any necessary help you may be seeking. Needing help doesn’t mean you are crazy or that you are weak. We all need help at various stages of our lives and if you are in need now, please let me assist you. Call me at 714-751-0888.

Finding the right therapist is vital to the growth and healing of the individual. My goal is to uncover what my clients need and find ways to help them activate this within session and within their lives. I am very active, encouraging, using humor and stories or videos to help them reframe the areas were they are stuck or confused. My goal is to help them see that the tapes that they believe are no longer helping them and to give them the freedom to see themself with new eyes.

Good psychotherapy requires listening, understanding, and eventual effective interpretation on the part of the therapist, and the willingness to work toward change on the part of the patient. It does not call for a "God-like" knowledge by the therapist, but for a collaboration by therapist and patient in moving towards more functional living.
