Find a Therapist in Ridgefield, Washington.

Individual therapy (sometimes called “psychotherapy” or “counseling”) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist—in a safe, caring, and confidential environment—to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential past experiences, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change. Sometimes, the impact of relationships, lack of relationships or the end of relationships can be the catalyst for individuals to seek therapy. Some clients come to therapy in order to heal from hurts suffered from past relationships.

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.

Therapy is a process where you are provided a comfortable space to build trust with a competent professional who knows how to help and will take the time to really understand you and your goals. As the process develops, we will work together to uncover emotional blindspots, give you the support and tools you need, and help you replace unhelpful thought and feeling patterns with those that are more suited for a balanced and fulfilled life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
