I have worked with many different clients with many different struggles over my career. I have only worked with adults (18 and above) but have worked with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, mood instability, ADHD and other diagnoses. I have also worked with couples and have run both psychotherapy groups as well as psycho-educational groups, including anger management, grief and other topics.
I was trained as a creative arts therapist - a music therapist and later as a Gestalt Therapist. I use creative approaches in dealing with my clients' struggles. In recent years, I have been using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is an approach that is similar to Gestalt and Music therapy, in its focus on the here and now and mind/body integration.
Although I use an eclectic approach, I believe that all therapy begins and flourishes through compassion. I believe that all therapy is ultimately Rogerian - that is client centered.
