Find a Therapist in Normandy Park, Washington.

Therapy is a way to create your own support system and carve out time in your week that is just for you. I will help you to identify feelings and thought patterns living in the unconscious that are keeping you from moving toward your potential and living a truly authentic life. Our symptoms are like arrows that point to the wound. I follow your symptoms and work with and identify the underlying issues. If given the time and support, the psyche will always move toward healing.

My approach to Psychotherapy is client-centered, collaborative, and individual to each client and the issues they are struggling to overcome. I use an attachment based, depth psychology focus with clients, including children and couples. Some of my clients may choose to use Sand Tray Therapy, which is a non-verbal form of expressive therapy. Sand Tray therapy can help to access and heal the deeper, non-conscious aspects of current life struggles.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, practical, and focused on creating lasting change both inside and outside of sessions. I provide a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to develop their own solutions.

Sessions are active, goal-oriented, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

It is possible for you to feel valuable and joyful.

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.

Psychotherapy is a process of deep exploration that seeks to create a greater understanding of the self. Once you understand something, you will learn skills to create more options so you can make the decision that will enhance your view of yourself, tour various roles in your life, and your relationships. Skills learned in psychotherapy can improve how you assess things (decrease shame, guilt, anxiety, for example), how you understand what others are doing (such as depersonalizing their behaviors, decreasing our reactivity to things they say or do), and improve your ability to communicate your wants and needs clearly and effectively.

Psychotherapy is relational. It's about feeling safe with your therapist where you can express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I provide a nurturing and structured space where you can get to the root of your issues in as short of time as possible. While I believe in the benefits of long-term therapy, I also know many of you want solutions. Consequently, my approach is solution-focused with cognitive behavioral techniques and even assignments for clients to help them reach their goals more quickly.
