In laymen's terms, psychotherapy is the opportunity to talk about and process your problems or challenges with a trained therapist. Sometimes, we don't need someone to try to fix our problems for us, which is what most of our friends try to do when we talk about them. Sometimes we need someone who will listen and be a sounding board so we can think through and process for ourselves. I want to support you with your goals and your needs and we can make a therapy plan (psychotherapy or other types) that you feel will best suit your needs. Most importantly, I provide that safe environment for you to be able to be vulnerable, talk about, and process whatever is on your heart and in your mind.

Therapy is not a one size fits all experience. Though I extensively trained to understand specific theories of practice, I utilize a "prescriptive" approach. This means I will adapt to your needs in treatment. I provide play therapy, drama therapy, and experiential creative arts therapies, but plenty of my clients also utilize "talk therapy" just as much. Therapy is co-created, it is relational, and it is in the therapeutic relationship where we seek personal growth to apply outside the therapy room. I work with children, adolescents, and adult individual clients, frequently female identified, LGBTIQ+ adults, adults with creative blocks, and adults burnt out about their work.

I offer one on one counseling for people seeking the depth of insight and self awareness only psychotherapy can offer. We will look at family patterns and life experiences that shaped and conditioned your responses today, while to helping to heal and update your image of yourself today. We will bring humor, insight, tools, new attitudes and perspectives to help you cope with your past and bring you into a new life in the present - healthy, happy, whole, on your terms.

I use a creative, collaborative approach to psychotherapy with children, teens, adults and families. Most often, individuals take the lead on where the session starts, and I provide occasional feedback, questions or perspectives for the person to reflect on. I also integrate art, sand and play into therapy with individuals of all ages. I tailor my approach to each person and family I meet with.

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.

Everyone needs help sometimes. Life's challenges can sometimes feel too big or too many to face alone. I think of therapy as a partnership where you can tell me your story not only to feel relief because you don't have to carry it alone, but also so that you can resolve your dilemmas, or even become aware of a life pattern that has stopped you from getting what you have always longed for. I would like to join with you to help you face whatever challenges are before you so that you can develop the self-support and confidence to get through your difficulties, or maybe even to develop a more secure way of being for the very first time. It's possible, and you don't have to do it by yourself.
