As we explore and identify negative thoughts patterns/triggers, and learn how to replace them with positive healthy ones, my clients will resolve emotional, behavioral problems and disturbances thus enabling them to lead a happier and a more productive life. I apply evidenced based techniques, such as cognitive behavior therapy, (CBT), trauma focused CBT, Client Centered therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing modalities and Rational Emotive Behavior therapy. As with any powerful treatment, therapy includes risks and benefits. The main risk is that things may change in your life. This may seem obvious, but it is important to consider the discomfort that even positive change may cause in your lifestyle

Seeking out a counselor for help can be a difficult choice. It’s not only asking for help, but doing so with a stranger. Counseling professionals and psychotherapists alike are trained to help people feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take next. They don’t dictate cures, but rather help their patients uncover or recognize that your problems are real and that you want to do something about them. In my practice, the implementation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Mindfulness treatment models can be very powerful strategies and offer a greater sense of worth and wellbeing.

A fulfilling, meaningful life. Many of us yearn for it and have struggled for it, with little success. Perhaps anxiety, fear, or depression get in your way. Maybe you're wrestled down by unwanted, unpleasant memories of a difficult past. For some, the pathway may be blocked by the effects of alcohol or drug use. Has anger often knocked you off balance? My approach to psychotherapy, which relies heavily on research-supported methods in the Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) traditions, seeks to restore your path to that meaningful life by helping you navigate those painful emotions, thoughts, memories and experiences that seem to hold you back.

Taking a patients medical , family background and history to diagnos a problem. I have the patient write out their thoughts, fantasies and dreams to investigate the subconscious. Psycotherapy takes alot of introspection and is a long term therapy designed to help the patient to gain a greater understanding of themselves and their life. It is not for mmdiate changes and not just for the patient who is mentallly ill or in crisis. It is designed to help the patient know themselves and make decisions conducive to their self empowerment, value system and life goals.

The benefits of effective psychotherapy are many. It helps the client get in touch with their feelings and develop valuable insights into herself. Most individuals go on year after year making the same mistakes repeatedly simply because they are unaware of the underlying reasons for the mistakes. You can't change something of which you are unaware; in psychotherapy, our goal is to uncover those underlying reasons that prevent becoming happier and leading a more satisfying life.

Psychotherapy is very beneficial no matter what your current circumstances and stresses may be. I utilize a variety of therapy techniques based on your specific needs, in order to make the most out of counseling. The majority of my therapeutic style is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-based approach and motivational interviewing, in order to help you utilize your inner strengths while managing unhelpful thoughts and difficulty with motivation. My role is to help you connect thoughts, feelings and actions while processing any past issues that may impact your well-being today. This is always done in a non-judgmental way, making sure that you feel empowered and heard.

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.
