If you have ever felt that your joy is "too loud," your sadness is "not believable enough," or that you are simply "not worth fighting for," you are in the right place. (+) THE ANALYTICAL MIND: If you have been told you "overthink" or pay "too much attention to detail," you will find a home here. I don't see your analytical nature as a problem - I see it as a valuable insight. I value your deep reflections and your ability to see the patterns others miss. (+) RADICAL ACCEPTANCE: Each part of you is welcome. You do not have to "perform" or worry about making a "good impression". I already accept you exactly as you are. Whether you live with anxiety, stuttering, communication differences, or physical disabilities and autoimmune diseases - you are welcome. I want to hear your story. (+) NEURODIVERGENCE: As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I specialize in working with clients of all ages who see and feel the world differently. I understand the unique sensory and social needs that traditional therapy often misses. (+) GUILT AND SHAME: I work deeply with people who carry heavy burdens of guilt and shame. We work together to understand where these feelings come from and how to move past them so they no longer control your life. BEYOND THE MASK OF PERFECTION In our society, we are often taught that the goal of life is to be "normal" and "productive" at all costs. Many of my clients come to me exhausted from trying to win a "medal" for being the ideal adult - only to find that appearing perfect doesn't lead to fulfillment. I believe that true joy lives in the parts of us that the world calls "too much." These are not defects; they are your most authentic self. In this room, we work on helping you exit the shame of being yourself so you can live a life that actually fits your wiring. GROWTH, MASTERY, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP I have extensive experience working with business owners and high-achievers. Many neurodivergent people are individuals who, whether through support, luck, or sheer survival, have become successful and innovative. However, success that is born out of "just surviving" often comes with hidden challenges. You might find yourself selling yourself short, struggling to set boundaries, or ignoring your own needs because you are used to operating in "survival mode." We focus on overcoming the self-judgment and low self-esteem that often linger even after you’ve achieved your goals. We aren't here to slow you down; we are here to make your success feel sustainable and mentally safe. PRACTICAL NOTES • MY ROLE: As a psychologist in Latvia, I provide psychological support. I do not provide official medical diagnoses or prescribe medication. • NO PRESSURE: You never have to worry about "knowing what to say." You can bring notes on your phone or message me your thoughts. I am here to lead the process and guide the conversation. • ACCOMMODATIONS: If you need something specific in the room to feel safe, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it. YOUR SENSORY SANCTUARY • GUIDANCE: I provide a video and photos showing exactly how to get to my office. If you feel unsure, I can come out to meet you and walk in with you. • MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME: You are welcome to take your shoes off. You can sit on the couch any way you want - legs tucked or moving pillows around. There are blankets and squishmallows available for you to hold. • FUEL AND COMFORT: I always have tea and water available. • PRACTICAL CARE: My practice is stocked with period products (pads) for your peace of mind. If you need them, they are there for you. • SAFETY BEYOND THE DOOR: If the hallway feels too long or the building intimidating after a session, I am happy to walk you out. We move at your pace. If you choose me as your therapist, thank you for trusting me with your story. It is a unique, precious, and vulnerable gift. I promise to treat it gently and with the utmost respect.
