My Approach to Helping
I help the people who come to me during difficult moments access new and unknown sources of strength in themselves. It is a pleasure to witness the change and growth that happens. We work together and find solutions to life's issues, in an efficient manner. I work with the person at any age, to support and gently guide, no matter what the issues at hand are. I strongly believe in individual creativity and that therapy can help us find the harmony and beauty inside of ourselves.
My training in art therapy, stress management, mindfulness, dream work and guided imagery, as well as my many years of experience as a clinical director of a treatment centre, a supervisor and teacher of other therapists, make me feel well prepared to deal with your individual, couple or family situation.
I work with children using play therapy and art therapy. When treating the child who may have difficulties at school/ home, I respect the family values and work in close collaboration with the parents to achieve their treatment goals.
I have significant experience meeting with young people in regards to their identity, and their life dreams and choices.
