Psychotherapy is a time each week to focus on yourself. The process of having another person demonstrate an investment in you and your growth increases curiosity about yourself, which enhance a sense of knowing yourself and your patterns. This knowledge allows for a greater sense of freedom in the choices you make, a stronger voice, and more rewarding relationships.

Psychotherapy can mean different things for different professionals. For me, it's another word for therapy or counseling - the process of sitting down with a warm and skilled professional to figure out how to achieve your life goals. and improve your relationships. Don't let the word "psychotherapy" scare you away from what can often be a powerful tool for improving your life. Trust your instinct about who to choose, and don't hesitate to stop therapy if you don't feel a connection with your therapist. The truth is that unless you really believe your therapist cares about your life, sophisticated therapy interventions and techniques are worthless. Remember to look for that connection!

Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything. Having worked in many healthcare settings, I am familiar navigating life-changing events and grief. I understand the territory of encountering loss, coping with trauma, the complexity of the medical system and living with illness. These issues can have ripple effects on your relationships, sense of self and perceptions of the world. I know how complex things can get, and I will support you during this process.

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.
