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.

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.

It has always been my belief that no particular therapy is equally applicable to every client, and so use a variety of methods based on the client's needs. It's my belief that one of the fundamental pieces missing from most approaches to human psychology is that the spiritual aspect is ignored, and so work with clients also combines a spiritual perspective where appropriate and desired. I work with clients on various issues, but have found that mindfulness exercises have a tremendous and positive impact and have used this approach with clients for close to 20 years. I look forward to working with you...

Many of my psychotherapy clients indicate their psychotherapy experience to be very positive. I strive to provide a safe atmosphere where you will feel free to share your thoughts and feelings and life experiences. Together, we first explore the early roots of your situation to see where any early influences are continuing to affect you in your present day living and relationships. We also see where the real self may have been blocked or held down from self expression. The work assists in the recovery of the Real Self, which many indicate feels like clarity and liberation. In addition, the current issues that require treatment be they relationships, work, family, are also dealt with.

Go beyond psychotherapy Feeling better is the first goal. A gentler, more realistic approach to creating lasting change and discovering practical ways to improve how you interact with your world. This is not at all like typical psychotherapy. As a certified consulting life coach, certified instructor and author of the Path Within® I help individuals and couples to discover rapid and practical ways to get their lives back on track. Learning to discover your true intent and core self, helps you deal with so many of your difficult questions in a whole new way.

The late James Hillman described therapy as the place of the small. My patients benefit from my psychotherapeutic approach because together we create room for what is most precious in our lives and allow what we discover to integrate and form a whole. It is only with this inner marriage that we can thrive and reach our fullest capacity to experience joy. I offer support through psychotherapy to help protect and restore energy to where it is needed most.

I provide a safe space in which you can talk through the challenges of life in the context of an empathic, caring, and supportive relationship. I approach my work as a therapist with nonjudgmental exploration, relational and empathic listening, respectful challenge, interactive engagement, and mutual participation in the therapeutic process. My work is informed by a holistic approach that respects the relational, interconnected nature of human experience. Together, we will explore the physical, psychological, sociocultural, historical, and spiritual factors impacting your life.

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

Psychotherapy is a process of facilitated self-discovery and healing. It is facilitated by a trained professional in a safe and confidential environment. Much emphasis in psychotherapy is put on creating a trusting relationship with your therapist so that you can feel safe "opening up". With this deep level of support, you'll be able to face the sometimes difficult parts of your emotions and experiences in order to emerge stronger, with a deeper sense of connection and purpose. In my practice, this is achieved through "talk therapy", art making or some combination of the two.

Are you ready to start: Feeling different in your life? Understanding where you are at and how you got there? Being different in your relationship both to yourself and with others? Then you are ready to start psychotherapy. You might come in the grip of a particular crisis or with a mounting sense that something has to change. Together we will explore what life is like for you: how you are with yourself and with others, how you are right now and what you know of how you came to be in this place. We will look at all of the parts that make up you and we’ll do it at your pace, with care, safety and empathy. You’ll notice yourself changing and others will too.

I believe that working from a client-centred approach is essential in fostering lasting change. As such, I view each client as an expert in their own lives and integrate their goals in the therapeutic process. My approach draws on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (therapy through relationship), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and neurophysiological research. I specialize in mental health, addictions, trauma, ABI, depression, anxiety, and other emotion and attention regulation difficulties. I offer short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy to youth, adults, and couples in groups and individually.

I am a big believer in tailoring my counselling approach to the individuals I support as well as meeting the service user where they are. There are lots of approaches or tools that we can try as two people working together. I feel it is important to allow people to be who they are. Motivational interviewing, CBT, Solution Focused, mindfulness and feminist approaches to counselling are the areas in which I have received training and these are the skills that I use in my practice.

I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible. I work primarily with the Gestalt approach, which focuses on self-awareness, contact and the here and now in the therapeutic process. I also incorporate EFT for couples work and Motivational Interviewing in addictions work. My style is attentive and responsive. You will get direct feedback from me in each meeting. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including Psychodrama, Drawing and Mindfulness based interventions.
