Very friendly and competent. Always having the patience to understand all problems. Gives valuable indications and has great ideas. We have made in a few sessions more progress than what I've done in 10 years of therapy with other therapists. Really, really great experience, I can only recommend him to anyone with a difficult case.

It’s been great to talk to somebody that has been through what I am going through. No judgment and a truly well balanced approach to getting well. Could not recommend him more
