His eclectic approach leans heavily on the concept that the needs of each individual are unique to that person and he makes frequent adaptations for the needs of each individual throughout the therapeutic process. He incorporates Expressive therapies/Art therapy, Client-Centered, Existential, Psychodynamic, and Gestalt-informed techniques to provide spaces for healing and understanding. He believes that by utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach wounds from the past can be acknowledged, tended to, and healed.
