In fact, while working in a prison, he pioneered the “walk-n-talk” therapeutic technique, where he invited the inmates to walk with him in the common areas daily.

His faith as a Christian energizes his work, and he has tremendous respect for clients’ spiritual stories, honoring their choice whether to incorporate spirituality or faith into the therapeutic relationship.
