I am a psychologist working with adults, adolescents and children. I work with general mental health and life-related issues, as well as OCD, trauma, eating disorders and concerns around substance use. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients and people from diverse backgrounds. My therapeutic style is a combination of here and now work and more in depth exploration. I use Emotion-focused and Schema Therapy models alongside other evidence-based therapies. With children I use play/creative interventions alongside talking therapy and work with parents. I can also provide appointments in German and Finnish and also offer supervision.
I offer both more focused as well as longer-term therapeutic work and have a warm and collaborative therapeutic style. I draw from a variety of evidence-based treatments and start the therapy process with a shared assessment. In work with children I always try to work with both the child, as well as parents, and focus on creating an engaging therapy space.
I aim to have an initial discussion on the phone to hear a bit about what you are coming for as well as give you a chance to ask me questions. Finding a good fit with a therapist is really important so I am happy to give you an idea of what to expect from working together. Please contact me via phone/email or through my website.
