Find a Therapist in Aumsville, Oregon.

The primary purpose of psychotherapy, as I see it, is to help the client gain insight that will motivate him or her to better their lives. Even if the insight is recognizing the difference between what one can and cannot control, a client learns to focus his or her attention to what can be changed, while learning ways to accept or manage those aspects of life that are out of our control. Furthermore, the goal of psychotherapy is to not make the client into a miniature version of the counselor but to help the client discover whom he or she wants to be in order to lives a fulfilling and rewarding life.

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.

We cannot change your past, yet, working together, we can change the effects of your past on your todays and tomorrows. I believe that a deeper understanding of where you came from will open the path and facilitate the journey to where you would like to be, emotionally, spiritually and physically. I work with clients to not only teach tools for daily living, but to uncover the roots of difficult issues and how to heal and grow past your woundings. Let the journey begin!

I draw from a variety of Experiential techniques (psychotherapy methods that work directly in session, with your present inner experience) to uncover painful perspectives held by distressed, inner-conflicted parts--which can take over & cloud your view of life. My preferred method is Internal Family Systems (IFS) which allows us to safely get to know the story & wisdom each part holds about the source of distress & what you need to heal. Listening in this mindful, compassionate way, to parts holding guilt, shame, anxiety, despair, burdens & conflicts allows for new understanding of conditions needed to heal. IFS teaches you how to soothe your internal system, whenever life challenges occur.
