Psychotherapy is offered to parents and children. Keystone focuses on understanding attachment relationships and helps clients develop an understanding of how attachment impacts both our behavior and our children's behaviors. Solution-focused counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy are utilized to provide practical strategies to meet clients goals.

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.

Psychotherapy sounds complicated. It does not need to be. It occurs when two people talk it can be effective or ineffective. With a combination of experience, education and practice a therapist can help create a therapeutic encounter that is beneficial and effective for a person.

It is my desire to create a space where this relationship can grow and be beneficial to my clients.

Often we know what we need to do differently, it's not that we don't have the wisdom, it's that it can be hard to apply! Doing Psychotherapy with me is a gentle and compassionate process of uncovering and tending to the old wounds and patterns that can be steering our behaviour and leading us astray. This frees up the space to live in the present with mindfulness, and create the future that we dream of!

Psychotherapy sounds daunting and scary, but really it is simply having a conversation, but a unique one where it is vitally important that you feel completely safe, respected, understood and valued in the counselling office. Psychotherapy involves talking about your life and about yourself and your desire to become your own best self. It involves increasing awareness of one's behaviours and the function of these behaviours. It involves understanding one's relationship with oneself and learning ways to improve one's relationship with oneself. And in doing this, one's level of peace, joy, happiness increases.

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.
