About My Clients
Many of Alba’s clients have worked hard to achieve loving relationships and a successful career, yet still find themselves longing for a deeper feeling of fulfillment. Alba helps these clients look inwards to learn more about themselves. Alba also works with clients who would like to improve their anxiety and trauma symptoms by unpacking their patterns and triggers.
My Background and Approach
Alba takes an attachment-based perspective and Internal Family Systems approach with clients to help them grow their understanding of their emotional reactions. She incorporates mindfulness techniques so clients can also benefit from grounding, and also guides clients through reflection on what’s most important to them in their lives. Once these values are established, Alba helps clients to integrate these values into their everyday lives so they’re constantly living through what’s meaningful for them.
