Find a Therapist in Houston, Texas.

When considering psychotherapy, people often ask, "why not just talk to a friend or family member?" It is great to have a support system. But sometimes it is more helpful to talk with a psychotherapist. As a therapist, I don't have an agenda for you or a preconceived idea of what's best for you. I can listen with compassion and without judgment. My training and experience as a psychotherapist also gives me an array of tools to help you change thinking patterns that are not useful to you. Together we can explore the areas of your life that are not working, help you discover more of your own inner resources and facilitate your moving in the direction of a fuller more satisfying life.

Life poses many challenges to all of us throughout of lives. When life becomes overwhelming, or your emotions seem like they are out of control, it often helps to have an objective person listen to what is occuring in your life. My goal is to hear what you have to say in a nonjudmental way, in an atmosphere of safety. Together we can explore what is going on with you, and I can provide you with tools to decrease your emotional suffering, gain insight into your issue, and increase coping (individually or within your relationships).

We use psychotherapy to build a personal bond that helps you to realize your own strengths. We work with people to develop belief and faith in their own ability to handle life on life’s terms. By building a strong interpersonal relationship as opposed to a starkly clinical one, we try to get a true understanding of what is triggering discomfort in your life. We will try to uncover the causes as well as a timeline as to when your symptoms began and cultivate healthy alternatives to deal with the issues troubling you most. The goal is to help you to get to a point that you feel you have the ability to manage your own thoughts and feelings and emotions outside of the therapeutic relationship.

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.
