Helsinki and Online

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a multicultural background. My nationality is Finnish-German, but I grew up in international settings and have lived in eight countries so far. My aim is to support my clients in restoring a state of psychological wellbeing in a safe, non-judgmental space.

I work with adults and young adults, in English, Finnish or German. I offer both short-term therapy and long-term therapy for individuals and couples.

My Approach to Therapy

My approach to psychology is integrative and holistic: I combine elements from cognitive therapies, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), mindfulness-based experiential therapies and inner parts work.

While I tailor the sessions based on each client’s needs and desires, some common ways of working include: identifying patterns that are proving unhelpful and developing alternative coping strategies; creating a healthy relationship to one’s thoughts and emotions, learning relationship skills, learning skills that reduce stress and enhance personal growth.

“

For me therapy is about increasing self-awareness and creating a healthy relationship to ourselves, our experiences, and to other people. I'm here to support and guide you along the way.
