Find a Therapist in Sherwood, Oregon.

Compassion, empathy, listening deeply, a sense of trust between Client and Therapist... These are some of the keys to successful Psychotherapy. I work collaboratively with Clients to discover how they see themselves and their place in this world. These narratives, that each of us writes for ourself, can be an important part of how balanced and healthy we feel on a daily basis. The rewriting of these stories can produce a positive change that Clients who work with me begin to realize. Some Clients will identify that they have suffered a breach of trust or an attachment loss at some point in their life. We work together to compassionately identify how that breach of love can be healed.

My main approach is cognitive-behavior therapy. This means exploring how your core values and experiences influence the thoughts and emotions behind your actions. You will learn how to recognize and correct thinking errors. I also use a variety of techniques for Gestalt Therapy. Many of my clients find it useful to do role plays before having tough conversations with family members or bosses.

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.

A session with me is not formulaic. You are allowed to come in just as you are with whatever is emergent for you that day. This dynamic will shape how the therapy goes. While I have many helpful techniques, I do not have an agenda for you. I will meet you where you are at and the goal will be to begin to establish a therapeutic relationship allowing you to feel comfortable and safe and to find the relief or personal growth you seek.

I provide brief solutions-focused psychotherapy to help clients assess personal and professional functioning, clarify goals, and strengthen social and emotional skills. I specialize in brief online relationship counseling. Online counseling allows clients to seek help as needed, engage in therapy at a schedule that's convenient to them, and keep their counselor as they progress through life. I work with LGBTQ and hetero clients on individual, couple, and alternative relationship concerns. Clients explore issues that impact their professional and personal relationships, including communication, power dynamics, and intimacy. I accept US$ and cryptocurrencies.

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 have more than 12 years of experience helping people resolve anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. I help clients find the emotional support and confidence to lead more satisfying and effective lives, freed from self-limiting beliefs and behavior patterns that keep them stuck. I help them look closely at how they react to situations and how to undo what doesn't work, while helping them build stronger self-acceptance and greater self-esteem. In doing this, I use powerful but gentle tools such as EMDR and the Emotional Freedom Technique which help dissolve negative beliefs and replace them with positive attitudes and a sense of empowerment.

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.

If you're new to therapy, it can be hard to understand what exactly it "is". Most of us have visited a doctor or a dentist before and know what to expect - most of those specialties have the same sort of feeling. With therapy, there is a very wide range of options. The therapist you choose to work with will often have a big factor on how you experience therapy. Because therapy basically consists of two humans in relationship, having conversation, the personality "match" has a big factor on how it feels. If you want to know what therapy feels like with me, please reach out so we can do a 25 minute free meet and greet!

Healing heart and mind is a relational process. The family we grew up in, our individual mind and body, and our experiences all shape us. Through caring and cooperative research, we can review where we have been and put words to the story. We can mine, define and refine those valuable gifts and relationships to further build our team for this next adventure.
