“Psychotherapy is an incredibly supportive and important opportunity for self-discovery and personal change. I work to foster an open and empathic relationship with all patients through which they can explore, identify, and understand their primary issues, strengths, and weaknesses and work to change maladaptive patterns. I work both in a dynamic and ego supportive context.”
