A tremendous value-add to having me as your psychotherapist is based on what I term my contextual approach. In short, I see every client as unique. Hence, my therapeutic modalities are tailored specifically to individual client needs. I used all five broad-based categories in my psychotherapy namely: psychodynamic therapies, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, humanistic therapy and integrative or holistic therapy. We believe rigidity in therapy significantly limits client results and often misses the whole picture. Other benefits include the incorporation of interpersonal and systematic approaches which combat self-defeating patterns and make allowances to firmly establish sound frameworks

With a Master’s degree in counseling, I’m trained to treat a wide variety of common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, and relationship issues. However, my passion is helping stressed out men to overcome their barriers, bad-habits, and insecurities to experience healing and breakthrough. I do so using my training in counseling, my experience in ministry, and my expertise as a trained addiction coach. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

There is a significant relationship between how comfortable you feel with your therapist and your outcome. You may experience decreased anxiety, an improved ability o express you needs and wants to others, a greater capacity to listen to and understand others and improved interpersonal relationships. You may find that you are better able to cope with stress and criticism and, as a result can function better at home, work or school. Psychotherapy can help you learn to let go of the past, look towards the future, but, to live fully in the present.

There are different forms of psychotherapy. I use an eclectic approach utilizing several forms of therapy based on the needs of the client. I offer both talk therapy and therapy that does not require talking. Talk therapies involve identification of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors sustaining difficulties. I believe therapist and client form a team with the client leading the pace of the session.

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.

In everyday life, we don't always get the chance to express how we are really feeling or share our struggles in an honest way. Psychotherapy provides a unique environment where you can share your emotions and true self and be met with empathy and the full attention of another person. In our sessions, I will be there to support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this relational approach, you'll discover patterns you want to change, increase self-awareness and gain coping skills that work for you.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.
