“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken!”
Oscar Wilde
My Story / origins
Growing up, I often felt lost, and was searching for connection and reassurance from my family and friends. From what I remember, my childhood was a happy one, but it was also distressing, leaving me with emotional and psychological pain, which became my normal as a child. As I got older, this pain continued to resurface in my romantic relationships, leading to relational difficulties, self-doubt, feelings of being unloved, and heartbreaks.
My romantic relationships became my focus in life where I thought love is becoming inseparable with my partner. I would lose myself in the relationship and after a while, I experienced insecurities, dissatisfaction, and feelings of inadequacy. I thought something was wrong with me, and worked even harder on becoming the perfect partner, not realizing that I was experiencing anxious attachment wounds.
I remember a pivotal moment after a particularly painful breakup that completely derailed me. For several months, I was experiencing deep feelings of lost, loneliness and anxiousness, making it extremely challenging to live my life because I did not know how to manage my overwhelming feelings. This was the start of my healing journey where I learned to reconnect with my inner child and sooth my anxieties. Even today, my inner child’s pain occasionally resurfaces, but now I have the tools, understanding and can engage with self-compassion to overcome these moments.
In my 15+ years of self-development, a B.S. in Psychology, and an M.Sc. in Positive and Coaching Psychology, I have come to understand that the turning point in my journey was when I not only focused on understanding my attachment wounds intellectually but also on becoming curious about how they feel and play out within my body. It took a lot of curiosity, courage, and strength to learn how to manage my anxious attachment wounds. Though, I have seen a profound shift in my relationships, where they have become more secure, fulfilling and authentic.
My Mission / present
My personal experience has fueled my purpose, and I wholeheartedly believe that healing begins by embracing both the cognitive understanding and the embodied experience of our attachment wounds.
I feel that it is my life’s mission to support others on their journey navigating insecure attachment wounds and supporting them to find the same trust and security within themselves and relationships that I have found.
My integrated approach is a blend of everything I have learned along the way, that listens to the wisdom of both your mind and body to facilitate deep change. My personal journey of managing and transforming anxious attachment wounds, combined with my academic background in psychology, allows me to guide you with empathy, understanding, and evidence-based tools.
By creating a safe space for you to reconnect with yourself and cultivate a sense of safety within your body, you will begin the process of growth and transformation. I will support you every step of the way on your journey to break free from old insecure attachment strategies to build the fulfilling relationships grounded in love, trust, and authenticity.
