My training is classically grounded in depth-oriented psychological theory, including ego and self-psychologies, also the traditions begun by C.G.Jung and W.Reich. I have always felt myself allied with the existential and experiential humanists (Rogers, Maslow, Perls) in their emphasis on growth, self-actualization and the ongoing unfolding of an authentic self. Client-Centered in my methods, I have also studied eastern philosophy and spiritual practice for almost 4 decades. Consistent with such views is my transpersonal orientation. More recently I have received advanced training in several body-oriented approaches.
