Approach to Care

I believe in a patient-centered, flexible approach, where the treatment is tailored to each patient's specific needs. I view treatment as a collaborative endeavor, where patients take an active role in determining their treatment goals, engaging in the therapeutic process, and implementing learned concepts in daily life.
