A part of his practice includes working with immigrants struggling with adaptation to living in the US. He integrates cultural competency in his work.

What this means is a mindful integration of contemporary neuroscience in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

With that, his clinical work is informed by the theoretical models developed by leading psychotherapists and neuropsychologists.
