[/vc_column_text][vc_separator height=”30″][vc_text_separator title=”Approach”][vc_column_text]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
- Mindfulness-Based Interventions

- 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
