Find a Therapist in Penticton, British Columbia.

There are many approaches to psychotherapy; each has strengths and weaknesses. I believe in individualizing my approach to suit clients' needs and issues. Theories that influence how I view clients and problems include humanistic, psychodynamic, relational, eco-systems, attachment and narrative. Some of the approaches I draw from include somatic experiencing, cognitive behavioural therapy, and response-based practice. Underlying it all is a holistic, client-centred, and strengths-based value system. My goal is to collaborate with clients to develop the internal and external resources they need to face, overcome and learn from their challenges so they can find happiness and fulfilment.

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 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.

My approach to therapy is inspired by the teachings of Carl Rogers, who believed that the most effective way to help individuals was through a warm, empathetic, and understanding relationship. I create a safe space for my clients to be open, honest, and vulnerable, allowing them to work through their challenges and find their own answers within themselves.  I use a holistic and integrative approach, drawing from a range of therapies, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), ego states theory, somatic approaches, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, resonance and more.

Corrective emotional experiences allows clients to experience themselves differently in the present than they did in the past. Implementing a variety of therapies including CBT, DBT, EMDR, SE, EFT, MET or EPT best suited to the client and their situation brings about change. Freedom to engage in life as it presents in the here and now instead of in reaction to unconscious thoughts, feelings and physcial sensations that keep you stuck in the past brings about lasting change.
