I'm a licensed psychologist and a PhD researcher in developmental psychology. I offer individual therapy for adults and over 11-year-olds, help with parenting kids any age, and family/couples therapy. I provide single consultations and longer therapeutic processes. I work in Finnish, English and Russian. I meet people at different stages of life, from pregnancy to adulthood. With me, you can increase the understanding of your child's development, parenting, and support your relationships and marriage. I'm also interested in life crises and mood problems. In child development, many key influences lie in the daily interaction between parent and child. My approach focuses on supporting the attachment relationship and I find it especially rewarding when parents discover new ways to connect with their child. Together, we can work to deepen the understanding of the child’s needs and identify concrete strategies for managing challenging situations. These may present as difficult behavior, aggression, tantrums, defiance, regression, or separation anxiety. In a relationship or family, you may be in a crisis situation and experience constant arguing, difficulty being heard or thoughts of separation. I'm also familiar with infidelity and partner's terminal illness. I have worked multuculturally with families with children, adults and young people in diverse settings. In addition to clinical work, I'm completing a PhD degree at the University of Helsinki. In my dissertation, I study the interaction between mother and child, the mother's reflective ability,and their impact on child attachment and emotion development in risk groups. As a psychologist, I am empathetic, present and sensitive. I use a mentalizing and emotion-focused approach. It is important to me to create an open and safe discussion environment where you can increase self-understanding at your own pace. I work in a neuro- and gender-sensitive and trauma-aware manner. Warmly welcome to my office as yourself.
