Choosing to enter into a therapeutic relationship is a choice to improve the quality of your life. Wounds from the past, broken relationships, loss, and many other experiences can become compartmentalized and hidden, yet greatly affecting your current relationships with both yourself and others. Psychotherapy can be a healing experience as you look at old ways of coping that may no longer be effective, and learn healthier ways to be both safe with and connected to others.

As we take care of our physical health by going for annual check-ups, exercising, and eating well, we must also place priority on our mental health. It is equally important and mind and body are connected. As a psychotherapist, I can guide you through a process of self-exploration and personal growth so you are able to become more aware of your patterns of thought, emotions, and behaviors. This self-awareness will empower you to change in the ways you want so you can lead and live a more fulfilling life.

My goal is to help clients create lives that express who they truly are by recognizing, welcoming, and making room for every part of that person within the therapeutic relationship. This creates a safe space where healing can unfold. I invite them to experience themselves in new ways, to rediscover their disowned parts, to learn new skills; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to their own direct experience of the world ~ perhaps for the first time. I nurture this collaboration by recognizing that each individual already possesses all the wisdom he or she needs to love, to connect, and to thrive. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

You are well on your way to your recovery, as you have taken a very important step towards your healing today. I help support my clients by listening to their concerns and helping to support them in a safe space. You are not alone, I look forward to helping you in your journey. Let's schedule your session to discuss what your need for support maybe.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Counselors often use cognitive behavioral therapy with clients. During episodes of anxiety or depression, people frequently exhibit extreme thinking patterns, and cognitive therapy can help them bring their thinking into perspective. If a counselor feels that issues from long ago (for example, trauma or childhood neglect) are emerging as anxiety or depression, she may employ EMDR. Other types of therapy include solution-focused brief therapy and mindfulness therapy can be used.

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.
