I graduated from the University of Latvia and received a master's degree in clinical and health psychology. In my study process, I have academically focused on topics such as personality traits, depression, attachment theory, and emotion regulation difficulties. As a psychologist, I feel comfortable working with anxiety, depression, emotion management skills, relationship difficulties, sexuality issues, self-esteem, and grief processing. In my professional training, I have learned psychological counseling based on the humanistic psychology approach, which primarily emphasizes unconditional acceptance and respect, the desire to grow and change, and empathy, which serves as the foundation for any therapeutic relationship. Psychoanalytic theories and psychodynamic therapy have also played a significant role in my psychology career, which I continue to study after graduating from university. The principles of psychoanalytic and humanistic psychology theories are the approaches I feel closest to. My career as a psychologist has been inspired by such authors of psychological theories as N. McWilliams, C. Rogers, H. Kohut, J. Borisenko, L. Hay, and many others.
