While there are over 250 different theories of Psychotherapy, there are hopeful and grace-filled practical answers given in God's Word. We have often found that all too many have failed to realize that, in his Grace, God has provided hope and help. We use as our motto a passage Jesus used when beginning his ministry: "to bind up the broken hearted and set captives free" (Is. 61; Luke 4). We are so thankful for the opportunity to give people hope and be part of God's restoration!

My clinical approach is to help a person/family understand their difficulties, define goals, and develop realistic action plans to resolve the challenge (solution focused). I support the person with what they want, they need, and what they are willing to change. I combine many approaches, with the goal of reducing the severity and frequency of difficulties, as well as improve the person’s overall functioning. The reality is the world is difficult, unfair, and at times overwhelming to the human mind. My hope is that I can help you to improve coping skills, develop healthy thought patterns, eliminate harmful behaviors, heal from any traumatic experiences, and to gain healthy relationships.

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 focused, Interactive process, and which we work together to find solutions to your specific needs and problems. Sometimes we focus on dysfunctional thoughts ("Stinkin' Thinkin'), sometimes on destructive emotions, sometimes in the past, but most often in the present. I tend to be very active in the therapy process, and often give "homework" assignments. It is important that we establish clearly defined goals for therapy at the outset, so that we realize when those goals have been reached.

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.

You know things seem off track yet can't seem to identify why. Things feel OFF! When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life history, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace and cherish all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Distress can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you thrive.

My psychotherapy approach will depend on the person, their problem and the situation. I prefer solution focused and cognitive behavior approaches, they are easy, brief and allow us to move forward while learning life long techniques. We can change our behavior and most outcomes by becoming aware of what works and most importantly what hasn't it in the past. Together we can identify patterns and create long lasting change.
