Ideal clients
I am passionate about working with adults within the LGBTQ+ community. My focus is on helping individuals explore and establish their unique identities while navigating challenges related to mood disorders and trauma.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
In my therapeutic practice, I integrate attachment-based theory with a strong focus on emotions to address the interconnected challenges of depression, trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. I begin by assessing the client's attachment history and emotional struggles, creating a safe space for them to explore and regulate their emotions. By understanding how attachment patterns influence their emotional responses, we work to reframe negative beliefs and narratives related to attachment. Through narrative processing and emotion-focused techniques, we delve into the depths of emotional experiences, particularly in cases of trauma. Our aim is to repair attachment wounds, fostering secure attachments within and beyond the therapeutic relationship. Together, we develop coping strategies to manage depressive symptoms, trauma triggers, and anxiety, ultimately empowering clients to integrate newfound emotional awareness into their daily lives and promote healing.
