As a registered psychotherapist, with an emphasis on Client Centered Therapy, I respect and try to enhance the innate wisdom of the client. I am trained in and use the modalities of Gestalt, Applied Existential Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy. I use these to promote insight, warmth and connection and provide a safe container for healing.
