I am a Valvira-registered psychologist working with adult clients at Compass Psychology. I offer therapy in English and Finnish and aim to provide a warm, collaborative, and reflective therapeutic space.

I hold a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Leiden University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. My academic background and clinical training provide a strong foundation in evidence-based psychological therapies, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Over time, my clinical focus has increasingly incorporated Schema Therapy, supporting deeper and more reflective work with long-standing emotional and relational patterns.

In addition to my academic degrees, I have completed formal training in Schema Therapy, which plays a central role in my clinical work. Schema Therapy allows for structured yet compassionate exploration of enduring patterns related to emotions, relationships, and self-experience, particularly in clients with long-standing difficulties.

I have studied and worked internationally, including in Finland, the Netherlands, the United States, and Canada. This background has strengthened my cultural sensitivity and my ability to work thoughtfully with clients from diverse backgrounds and life situations.

My work is integrative and evidence-based, drawing primarily on Schema Therapy and CBT. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, with particular attention to emotional processes, relational patterns, and the therapeutic relationship.

As a psychologist, I aim to offer a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore difficult experiences and emotions. I place importance on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and supporting clients in developing greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and effective coping skills in everyday life.
