About me

I am a passionate therapist with a deep curiosity and empathy for the human experience. I was born in Estonia in a multicultural family and grew up in various places from Boston to Dubai to Tokyo. My years of travelling and growing up in international communities contributed greatly to the values that I hold close to my heart – acceptance, non judgment, openness, and curiosity.

I completed my master’s in clinical psychology at Utrecht University. On the side of my studies, I gained practical experience in somatic and resource-oriented trauma therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and Zen Coaching in Sweden, where I felt deeply fulfilled giving trauma-informed sessions by applying holistic and integrative therapy approaches. I have experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, gender identity, sexuality, and self-esteem issues. Furthermore, my background in NVC (non-violent communication) and currently also schema therapy allows me to understand your needs to work with the core issue. My curiosity and dedication to this work keeps on increasing and I’ve acquired experience in various therapy approaches which I now use tailored individually.

Approach

My approach is client-centered, integrative, and somatic. Therapy in a safe, accepting, and curious space allows you to connect to your inner truth and authenticity. I focus on increasing your self-awareness and resilience to empower you to live in accordance with what matters most to you. You have the autonomy to take the lead in what you want to discuss, and I am here to offer support and guidance along the way with the intention of meeting you where you are, as you are, so that your inner wisdom can unfold.
