‘As a psychotherapist, it is important to me to integrate physical and psychological processes. My work is deeply informed by my experience as a candidate in psychoanalysis. Together with my patients, we develop the most appropriate therapeutic strategy, whether it involves psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or a combination of both.

I am particularly committed to treating psychosomatic illnesses and trauma, and to promoting mental health, especially among those who help others. As one of the founders and medical director of our institution, my goal is to ensure the highest level of professional support for everyone who turns to us.’
