My approaches to Therapy

At the graduate school I was first trained in classic psychodynamic theory and in art therapy. Later I added developmental theories while working with children and client centered humanistic approaches. While I worked with adults, I used psycho-education, cognitive behavioral techniques and I also trained with narrative team in postmodern approaches. In addition, as a family therapist I was trained in family therapy and marriage counselling. I find that the best method in therapy is a combination of approaches based on the needs of the client and type of presenting problem. My favorite way to work is to put the client in the position of an expert of their life and be curious to discover and build on their strengths and resiliencies. To co-create solutions and support them through adversities. When applicable I enjoy sharing the art therapy techniques as they can be very soothing to the clients who are opened to them and naturally to children.
