Our counseling backgrounds include working with young children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Psychotherapy is also known as talk therapy. Lots of different techniques fall under this umbrella and it is used to treat various types of emotional challenges. It can be used to gain insights about yourself, your values and goals, and improve your relationships. It is most successful when the relationship between the client and therapist is trusting and open.

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.

I use psychotherapy to help individuals address underlying sources of ongoing painful problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, and chronic problematic relationship patterns. This may include exploring past family dynamics and significant childhood events that have affected development. Increased understanding of the past can often lead to improvement in the present. I recommend tackling problems at their source because this allows the possibility of more permanent and deeper healing than can be achieved by simply addressing symptoms. As past events are gradually processed and resolved, we often feel that an emotional burden has been lifted; we just plain feel better!

From my point of view, every one of us is capable of peace and happiness. If the mind is not cluttered with dark or negative thoughts, and if there are no blocks to your emotions, and if there is not something out of whack in your thought processes, you will revert back to your ‘default setting’…happiness or contentedness. The devil is in the details, however, as if it were that simple, everyone would be content/happy, and no-one would suffer emotional pain for any length of time. The reality is, however, that many of us go through much pain and suffering, and have no idea why. And, if you can’t understand why you feel the way you do, you have no hope of fixing it, unless by some random chan

Let’s face it – many children and teenagers don’t like therapy or counseling. It’s boring. It’s uncomfortable. They’re not sure how it’s supposed to work. I approach kids differently than most therapists do. I don’t bombard them with a lot of questions and I don’t try to “get” them to talk with me—an undertaking I find as insulting to us both as it is unproductive. Instead, I introduce a variety of topics and see which ones evolve into conversations that can heal, animate, encourage, stimulate, or inspire. I answer questions, offer opinions, and say what I think is going on without ever trying to muscle any points across. I work quickly, but never rush.
