During 2023, I became officially certified in the Therapeutic Assessment (adult model). I am excited to share here a video where Steve Finn, creator of the model, describes a case where he used Therapeutic Assessment. This video well represents the power of Therapeutic Assessment and the reasons why Therapeutic Assessment is such an effective assessment and intervention.

In this video, Dr. Finn shares the powers of TA through a moving case example.

Are you embracing your journey?

In my work, I am passionate about helping my clients adjusting to changes in their life. A new job, becoming parents, moving to a different country...These changes may be sought after and desired, but when they happen they can cause a lot of stress. As an attachment expert, I can help you focus on how your relationships with others can be part of the solution towards embracing this new phase of your life
