What is "psychotherapy?" People use the terms "counseling" and "therapy" interchangeably with "psychotherapy." It is the process of deciding to find help healing past issues, making sense of your current life, and helping to understand and be at peace with decisions that will affect your future. We partner together to meet your therapy goals in healthy, positive ways.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Through psychotherapy, I can provide feedback, observations, information, or a new perspective about what’s happening. I may point out connections between your thoughts and feelings or between current responses and past relationships. You may also come to see things differently as you explain things to me. Together, we can develop new ways for you to understand, cope with, and communicate about your experiences and to improve your relationships.

Congratulations on taking the first daring and potentially wonderful steps into the world of healing through psychotherapy. My counseling practices are based on those techniques that are evidence based and proven to be effective from the clinical research literature. Specifically, I employ cognitive beahvioral therapy techniques (CBT) in helping my clients move past issues of anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I strive to provide therapy in a very comfortable, safe, and judgement free environment.

All people have problems. When the problems are not the consequence of their own doing, such as resulting from abuse, neglect, or tragedy, I work to help these individuals muster their personal resources to better cope and learn recover from the trauma. However, most of the problems that people tend to have are the result of the poor choices they make. This is the frequent consequence of not really knowing who they are. My work as a psychotherapist is to help my clients become more aware of themselves. Lots of times it means facing some irrational and negative beliefs that get played out over and over. I work in a collaborative way that helps increase my clients knowledge of themselves.

In our talk therapy sessions, your teen can come as they are. There are no judgments or prerequisites for my clients. My approach is person-centered. Your teen will explore who they are, what they want to accomplish, and how they can get themselves there. They will do this work in a supportive and welcoming environment. The goal is self-actualization. Your teen will realize their potential and together we will address the thoughts and behaviors that have been acting as barriers to their success. It is an exciting journey, and I am honored to be part of it!

Making the initial call is perhaps to worst part. But once your appointment is set, you will immediately experience relief. Deciding to seek help is in fact, a smart and courageous act. Therapy can be painful, but at least it doesn't require the use of sharp objects. In order to get well, you must face your fears, and accept the truth, no matter how ugly it may seem. And at last, you had the courage to connect with another human, crawl out from your hiding spot, and at last face the problem, be it embedded in past pain, or caused by a current crisis. Thank you for reaching out! We can now begin addressing and resolving whatever it was that's been holding you hostage for so long.

When I work with clients in psychotherapy my focus is on careful listening to their emotional experience and responses. I am especially attuned to listening and learning about the quality of their closest connections. Oftentimes when an individual, couple or family is in pain it is nearly always an indication that their most important relationships are suffering in some way. My listening and responses are focused on the clients experiences with those that matter most to them and to help them find ways to express what they truly need and want from those that they are most emotionally dependent upon. I help them connect with that vulnerable place within them.

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.
