Find a Therapist in Nuevo, California.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) I love to see individuals get free from their individual issues, especially those self-sabatoguing defenses frequently learned from family of origin dynamics. I will help you be more OK with who you are and have more freedom from your past and thus have more contentment and success within yourself as well as others. I will help you be more confident, less anxious and less controlled by others. Your self-awareness and ability to stop underlying negative patterns will become easier to see and to change. In my 20 years of being a psychotherapist I have developed much expertise and have seen hundreds of people psychologically healed up.

While I am technically a psychotherapist, I do not like the word "psychotherapy" for two reasons. First, when people hear the word, they usually think of a troubled person reclining on a couch. I like to think of myself as an advanced coach because I can help people regardless of the severity of their challenges, but we can get deep into the nitty-gritty emotional content of a relationship if we need to. Second, I work with more than one person, because I help improve relationships, which *may* involve two or more people in the room.

The process of therapy is and should be tailored to each individual's life experience. Research shows that clients in therapy, who seek assistance to deal with a whole range of issues, challenges, thoughts, and emotions, can experience a positive benefit. In our collaborative work, we will complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, where we look at many life factors that may be contributing to those challenges for which therapy is being considered. After an assessment, we will have a clearer idea of core values, possible goals and many ideas on designing a flexible plan that is easy to understand and use to bring about the transformation desired.

I provide brief solutions-focused psychotherapy to help clients assess personal and professional functioning, clarify goals, and strengthen social and emotional skills. I specialize in brief online relationship counseling. Online counseling allows clients to seek help as needed, engage in therapy at a schedule that's convenient to them, and keep their counselor as they progress through life. I work with LGBTQ and hetero clients on individual, couple, and alternative relationship concerns. Clients explore issues that impact their professional and personal relationships, including communication, power dynamics, and intimacy. I accept US$ and cryptocurrencies.

In order to understand why one feels and acts as they do requires exploring early childhood experiences that influenced current behaviors. Through this understanding one can learn new behaviors. There are messages you received as a child that live within your subconscious and affect how you feel about yourself. Gaining some insight into those early childhood messages you received from your caretakers will help you understand why you feel as you do and with that understanding you can choose new self-concepts and behaviors.

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 often something that can benefit all people of all backgrounds no matter what they are going through. Being able to have a safe space where you can discuss inner feelings, inner thoughts, concerns and struggles is important to overcoming those challenges of life. Being able to reach your goals, whether that is overcoming anxiety or just becoming a better version of yourself, psychotherapy can help you achieve this. It helps you gain a better understanding of yourself and your goals, helping you learn the process as well! I look forward to helping you in this journey!

I count it a privilege to walk with my clients into a new version of themselves through sessions in the therapy room. I work to deeply hear and understand my clients. We will look at how they got where they are and work to change the perspective/dynamic that's keeping them in this painful place. We will look at how past and current relationships have impacted them and changes they can make to improve their relationships.
