He pays special attention to creating a trusting and safe environment to help his clients build insights and skills to learn new ways to cope with stressors and gain acceptance. He recognizes that change is scary and hard. Thus, he aims to compassionately empower his clients to effectively address their concerns head-on and face their fears so they can grow their confidence and ability to tolerate and manage emotional distress.
