I practice from a neurodiversity- and trauma-affirmative lens, recognising and respecting the diverse needs and experiences of each individual.
About me
I am a counsellor and a music therapist from Estonia, having lived in London, Berlin and Tallinn throughout my adult life. In my practice, I use talking and creative expression to help access your thoughts and feelings that otherwise remain hidden.
I will support you in your process to develop an understanding and compassion for yourself, to overcome difficulties and to improve your wellbeing and self-esteem. During the first sessions, we may set goals for therapy together. Throughout the process, you will begin to understand yourself and others better, and experience improved relationships and quality of life.
I specialise in neurodiversity, trauma, depression, anxiety, teen counselling, and parenthood. I offer a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals.
My practice is based in Mitte, Berlin. Beyond my private practice, I have worked at forensic settings, neurorehabilitation and schools, supporting children, teens and adults. I actively engage is Continued Professional Education courses to keep my skills up-to-date, regular supervision sessions and my own personal therapy for the past five years.

My approach
Originally trained as a psychodynamic music therapist, I work flexibly in my approach to focus on your needs using psychodynamic, mindfulness, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and creative techniques. In therapy, you will be 'leading' the sessions since you are the expert on yourself.
I work with clients on an ongoing weekly basis. The therapy process is entirely individual and depends on your goals and what you bring to therapy. I am here to listen in a non-judgmental way and support you in anything that comes up and to reach your goals.
*Please note, there is a 24 hour cancellation policy for all consultation sessions.*
