Rather than diagnose-treat-cure, my model is connect-interact-become. It's a personal growth model. The willingnesss to permit a professional to facilitate your personal growth is not a disease; it's an accomplishment.

Psychotherapy usually means longer more in depth treatment of issues. There is a an understanding that there is value in seeing a therapist on a regular basis as it give time for trust to develop and also allows the client the time to explore more deeply.

The practice of psychotherapy takes more skill and experience and usually means the therapist has had their own psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy includes a more long-term exploration into one's inner functioning, in order to make lasting change. While doing psychotherapy, I assist my clients to look into their inner life, which often includes looking back at family of origin issues or past relationships to learn how one has become who they are today, and then identifying areas where they would like to see change. We then work to shift these patterns of being to create a more fulfilling, peaceful life, with healthier choices.

My approach to psychotherapy is that change takes time. I work long term with most of my clients so that they may realize "real" change in their lives. Psychotherapy to me, is more than counseling. Counseling tends to focus on techniques and solutions; however, psychotherapy is a process of change. This process will the experienced with me in the room and also during the time between sessions. The commitment to the process of change is crucial for successful results.

Want to build new ideas, clarify difficulties with emotions, motives, and interactions with others that lead to confusion? Rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself is crucial for change to be achieved. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you rewrite what you tell about yourself and discover new ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future.

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.

My approach to working with clients is a collaborative, client-centered approach. I use an EMDR therapy model which is an integrative approach to psychotherapy. This model addresses our mental, emotional, and physical experience. It is more widely accepted and understood that our mental health is interconnected with our physical health. It is important that we take a holistic approach to healing in order to be able to truly move forward and feel renewed and empowered. Within a safe and supportive environment, I will support you in a healing process that fits with your life experience and worldview.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

What Is Accelerated Resolution Therapy? Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a relatively new form of therapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 3-5 sessions). ART is a combination of bilateral stimulation, prolonged exposure and visualizations. ART looks at processing negative psychological symptoms within the body and the brain. ART has shown to offer improvements to clients’ symptoms within 1 or 2 sessions. While initially a trauma therapy, ART appears to be beneficial for several psychological concerns. More detailed information on this approach can be found here.
