Find a Therapist in Lakeside, Florida.

While there are over 250 different theories of Psychotherapy, there are hopeful and grace-filled practical answers given in God's Word. We have often found that all too many have failed to realize that, in his Grace, God has provided hope and help. We use as our motto a passage Jesus used when beginning his ministry: "to bind up the broken hearted and set captives free" (Is. 61; Luke 4). We are so thankful for the opportunity to give people hope and be part of God's restoration!

In everyday life, we don't always get the chance to express how we are really feeling or share our struggles in an honest way. Psychotherapy provides a unique environment where you can share your emotions and true self and be met with empathy and the full attention of another person. In our sessions, I will be there to support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this relational approach, you'll discover patterns you want to change, increase self-awareness and gain coping skills that work for you.

What is psychotherapy and how does it help? Good questions! Decades of research has shown that talk therapy is an effective way to change thought and behavioral patterns to create positive change. Together we can tackle relationship issues, work stress, phobias, addiction, infidelity, anxiety, depression, self-image or eating disorders and more. Talking is just the first simple step towards reinventing yourself so take the leap! It's worth it!

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

My clinical approach is to help a person/family understand their difficulties, define goals, and develop realistic action plans to resolve the challenge (solution focused). I support the person with what they want, they need, and what they are willing to change. I combine many approaches, with the goal of reducing the severity and frequency of difficulties, as well as improve the person’s overall functioning. The reality is the world is difficult, unfair, and at times overwhelming to the human mind. My hope is that I can help you to improve coping skills, develop healthy thought patterns, eliminate harmful behaviors, heal from any traumatic experiences, and to gain healthy relationships.

Psychotherapy is a focused, Interactive process, and which we work together to find solutions to your specific needs and problems. Sometimes we focus on dysfunctional thoughts ("Stinkin' Thinkin'), sometimes on destructive emotions, sometimes in the past, but most often in the present. I tend to be very active in the therapy process, and often give "homework" assignments. It is important that we establish clearly defined goals for therapy at the outset, so that we realize when those goals have been reached.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

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 overassume 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.
