We use psychotherapy to build a personal bond that helps you to realize your own strengths. We work with people to develop belief and faith in their own ability to handle life on life’s terms. By building a strong interpersonal relationship as opposed to a starkly clinical one, we try to get a true understanding of what is triggering discomfort in your life. We will try to uncover the causes as well as a timeline as to when your symptoms began and cultivate healthy alternatives to deal with the issues troubling you most. The goal is to help you to get to a point that you feel you have the ability to manage your own thoughts and feelings and emotions outside of the therapeutic relationship.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

The pursuit of happiness can sometimes seem to be a non-reality to individuals with extenuating circumstances in life. Adverse childhood experiences many times have a negative impact on how we view the world. We develop anxious attachments, avoidant attachments, and a combination of both. Our subconscious thoughts of what we experience in our childhood are usually the culprit of our low self-esteem, lack of assertiveness. and overall pessimism of the world. We give our clients the opportunity to explore these past realities with a listening professional ear. We process through these experiences then provide a professional psychoanalysis. From there, we work together to improve your outlook.

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.
