Michael’s theoretical framework is based within Adlerian and Existential concepts. In their journey together, Michael and his clients may explore how past experiences and patterns along with future goals and desires affect present-day experiences. He believes that both past and present exploration is the key to present-day changes. Exploration of these experiences includes one’s feelings, thoughts, behaviors, perceptions, and processes which allows a person to gain better insight and make changes.
