What should a new client know about working with you?
As a medical student, I was most drawn to psychiatry and, as a psychiatrist, I am most drawn to psychoanalysis. Both are reflections of my interest in the human experience and my desire to be curious about people and their journeys. As result, I work best with clients who are interested in exploring the multiple layers of their experience, including what is related to the present as well as what is related to the past.
