Therapeutic work helping clients:

No single therapeutic method will
work for everyone. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs
of each client.
My style integrates mainstream and experientially based approaches,
including:
• Cognitive-Behavioural
• Emotion-Focused
• Interpersonal Process
• Gestalt
• Sandtray
Individuals who are passionate about their spirituality,
within or outside the context of organized religious practice, are
encouraged to draw on their spiritual strengths to bring about positive
change.
The connection between therapist and client is fundamentally important
in the course of therapy. Not every therapist is right for every
client. If I am not the right person for you to work with, I will
refer you to other professionals who may be better able to help
you.
