Psychotherapy
I'm certified as a psychotherapist by the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists. I'm a trainer of interpersonal and conflict resolution skills since the early 1980s. I'm finishing up the examination process as a Certified Transactional Analyst (TA). I'm trained and certified as a Redecision Therapist by the Southeast Institute for Family Therapy. I'm trained and certified as a Cognitive Behavior Therapist, by the Cleveland Centre of Cognitive Therapy. I am a Certified Advanced Nurtured Heart Approach practitioner, I've received advanced training in Motivational Interviewing, and I've received energy psychotherapy training in both Advanced Integrative Therapy and Healing the Light Body.
I conduct psychotherapy with adult individuals and couples. My scope of practice includes individuals challenged with adjustment disorder, anxiety disorders except substance induced anxiety, dysthymic disorder, major depressive disorder, and the personality disorders except mental retardation. My scope of practice also includes relationship counseling. Across this spectrum I decline clients who are actively using a substance, dissociative, psychotic, or who have a criminal record that includes violence.
