Drew has developed a blend of interpersonal talk therapy, mindfulness, and meditative sound therapy that helps individuals transcend the narratives that have kept them stuck in recurring patterns. He comes from a family of musicians and incorporates his musical skills into a unique form of sound therapy — using crystal singing bowls, native-style flutes, drums, chimes, and rattles to create a sound immersion experience.

Drew's approach is also well-suited for clients exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy integration. He guides clients through mindfulness skills, breathwork, and body-centered scanning to access the subconscious directly. His goal is to unlock each individual's creative potential to transcend stagnant narratives and behavioral patterns.

Outside of the office, Drew studies world music and instrumentation, and continues to accumulate a collection of rare instruments from around the world. For Drew, self-care is not a concept or theory — he consistently practices meditation, yoga, and Qigong, and attends international spiritual retreats. On weekends, he enjoys hiking and climbing in remote locations across the mountain west.
