His approach emphasizes flexibility, adapting methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic approaches based on your preferences, personality, and the issues you are facing. He creates a personalized and effective treatment plan, by fostering a collaborative relationship with yourself, where the key to success is working together to find what resonates best with you, so you can better understand and address what’s going on in your life. It’s all about making the therapy process fit you, not the other way around.
