As a psychotherapist, you listen and notice body movements and the feelings your client is focusing on. You explore what would happen if you let go of the old ways and created new ways, that helped your client find strength, self esteem and a sense of taking control over how he/she wants his/her life to be. You go for a walk and talk, exploring options. You build trust, being present , validating their feelings. Letting them know you are there for them. Positive change is possible....

I work from an attachment based perspective and hold the beliefs that we are products of our upbringing and relationships. I believe we are shaped through our experiences and this plays a vital role in how we operate in relationships in the present as well as the vision we hold for our future. Each person is unique in their story and their personality and experience combine provides a unique formation of their present. I work within the context of animal-assisted psychotherapy to work with attachment, bonding, and acceptance and love.

Psychotherapy is the process of you being with yourself and getting to know yourself in the presence of someone who supports safety, compassion, empathy, and care. We live in a culture that supports looking outside ourselves; where we live, what we drive, who we're dating, what we wear, etc. Carl Jung said, "Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes." I'm here to support you in looking within yourself, communicating effectively about what you find there (feelings, needs, requests, etc.) and integrating the unresolved wounds of your past so you can feel more relaxed, fulfilled and empowered.

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.
