Πιστεύει ότι η ομαδική ψυχοθεραπεία αποτελεί πολύ αξιόπιστη μέθοδο και βασικοί τρόποι με τους οποίους βοηθά είναι η ενστάλλαξη ελπίδας στο άτομο, ο αλτρουισμός, και αίσθηση ότι πολλές από τις δυσκολίες και τα προβλήματα είναι κοινά σε όλους τους ανθρώπους. Ταυτόχρονα, οι σχέσεις με τα άλλα μέλη της ομάδας παρέχουν στο ίδιο το άτομο χρήσιμες πληροφορίες για το πώς σχετίζεται σε όλες τις σημαντικές σχέσεις της ζωής του.

Για εκείνη η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι ένα ταξίδι αυτογνωσίας που έχει ως στόχο τον επαναπροσδιορισμό του ατόμου μέσα στη ζωή του και τη θεραπευτική αλλαγή.

Τέλος, θεωρεί σημαντικό η σχέση θεραπευτή-θεραπευόμενου να διέπεται από άνευ όρων αποδοχή, σεβασμό, εμπιστοσύνη, αυθεντικότητα και ενσυναίσθηση.
