Psychotherapy, or "talk therapy" is helpful for many people who are struggling with sadness, anxiety, stress, or relationship issues. Having the help of a professional counselor empowers you to explore possible solutions, navigate potential non-solutions, map out a path of solutions, and feel comfortable that you are armed with strategies and skills to conquer future challenges.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers general psychotherapy via the narrative perspective of externalization from the problem. Additional subconscious processing with EMDR can facilitate cognitive narrative connections that allow for new, adaptive perspectives to emerge. While past experiences cannot be changed, the story we tell ourselves can always evolve.

My emphasis is on helping clients deal with whatever problems are foremost in their daily lives, right now. While I can, and will, deal with issues related to the past, I believe most people are looking to solve current problems and move on. In taking that focus, I sometimes investigate the dreams people are having, because current dreams are always attempts to solve current problems. I always look for a client's strengths, and try to use them to help the client figure out what he or she needs to do now.

As human beings, we each grow up with a family of origin that is dysfunctional at some level because every family is made of of imperfect humans! It is amazing what taking a look at how our perceptions of life, love, God, money, the world around us, etc. is formed and how that impacts who we are and how we act today. It is never about blame, but it is often about finding real truth and forgiveness and learning how to move on and become your true authentic self!

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.

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.

When this occurs, turning to a counselor for assistance is just as necessary as turning to your doctor for help when you have the flu. Through counseling you can gain the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to help you through your difficult time. Your counselor will work with you to establish a helping relationship which offers emotional safety facilitated by a non-judging and unbiased ear.

In my approach to psychotherapy, I integrate multiple therapeutic modalities to a Christian foundation to provide the best and tailored experience for my clients. Psychoeducation is a key component, as I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge about their mental and emotional health and equipping them with strategies. I also incorporate Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), to address emotional blockages and promote emotional healing. Furthermore, I draw upon the principles of existential therapy to explore clients' search for meaning and personal growth. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs.

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.
