Find a Therapist in Atlanta, Georgia.

Some people come to therapy because they want quick results. Others are searching for something deeper: to gain an awareness of themselves, to probe parts of their personality that they have not previously explored, to understand how they relate to other people and how other people see them...all this and more. Psychotherapy is a rich experience, as rich as you would like it to be. If you're excited to explore, to deepen your awareness, and to grow, then this setting is perfect for you.

To my way of thinking, psychotherapy is all about learning more about yourself. The more you become aware of what you do, how you react, and why, you can become aware that you have more options for thinking, feeling, and responding in addition to the automatic knee-jerk reactions you experience without thinking about it. This frees you up to choose instead of react, which can lead to all sorts of new and wonderful choices for your life!

I use an integrative approach with trauma-informed modalities focused on attachment, self-regulation, and systemic dynamics. Based on what each client needs, I use a combination of talk-therapy and somatic therapies to bring healing and resolution. I work with couples and individual clients to process difficult emotions, change unhealthy patterns, and heal relational disconnection. I use my training in EMDR, sex therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Counselors often use cognitive behavioral therapy with clients. During episodes of anxiety or depression, people frequently exhibit extreme thinking patterns, and cognitive therapy can help them bring their thinking into perspective. If a counselor feels that issues from long ago (for example, trauma or childhood neglect) are emerging as anxiety or depression, she may employ EMDR. Other types of therapy include solution-focused brief therapy and mindfulness therapy can be used.

I offer brief, results-oriented psychotherapy. My approach is to identify and resolve how specific, unresolved upsetting or traumatic events are getting activated in present day situations and contributing to negative beliefs about yourself in certain situations or repetitive, self-sabotaging patterns in your personal relationships or at work. I have advanced training and experience in helping clients understand and heal from many types of distressing events. Often we think these experiences are not a big deal or no longer influencing us, but they often compromise your ability to be yourself, achieve your goals and enjoy life more. See the Client Reviews section of my website for more.

Benefits of Psychotherapy: Improve the quality of your life. Create satisfying relationships, freedom from a hurried lifestyle and more joy in everyday living. If you're like most people, you strive to enhance your life. If you spend time and money on yourself physically with exercise and medical care, mentally by education, then why not improve emotionally too?!

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.
