I use an integrated approach to psychotherapy, incorporating cognitive-behavior, dialectical-behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapies.

You may want to understand yourself better, set personal goals or identify aspects of your life that you would like to change. My goal is to help you increase your level of wellness and improve your quality of life. Let's work together to create a plan for you to feel and function better.

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.

Consider PsychoTherapy If... You feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness, and your problems do not seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends.

You worry excessively, expect the worst or are constantly on edge. Your actions are harmful to yourself or to others: for instance, you are drinking too much alcohol, abusing drugs or becoming overly argumentative and aggressive You are having difficulty in your marriage or relationship with others

My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic or insight oriented. While I integrate many approaches in treatment, using an insight oriented approach is especially helpful to those who seem to repeat the same patterns of behaviors in all their close relationships or are in a bad relationship but can not move on. Insight oriented approach can help a person realize how their past is influencing their present behavior and open the individual up to making profound change
