DESCRIPTION I have worked full-time as a psychotherapist since 2016 with clients of different ages. People come to my practice from a wide variety of life situations and backgrounds. I provide both long-term Kela-supported rehabilitation psychotherapies and short-term therapies focused on a specific issue or life situation. As a psychotherapist, I have been described as approachable, present, empathetic, and calm. I have a deep interest in the many nuances of human life and am not easily surprised. I aim to offer clients a safe and accepting space where it is possible to pause, reflect, and find new perspectives on central pain points and questions in life. WORK EXPERIENCE AND METHODS I am trained in both psychodynamic and cognitive psychotherapy, and I use methods from both approaches in my work. In addition, I have completed training in sex therapy. Professionally, I am very familiar with topics such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma, addictions, neurodivergence, gender and sexual diversity, and issues related to religiosity and religious communities. PRACTICE I see clients full-time from Monday to Friday at my practice in Sörnäinen, Helsinki. The practice is located near a metro station, and there are also good parking options in the area. I also offer online therapy.
