As a psychotherapist, I welcome clients of all ages. My qualifications include being a cognitive individual psychotherapist, a psychiatric nurse, and a solution-focused neuropsychiatric coach. I have over 14 years of work experience in child psychiatry, which has also given me experience in family and network-based work. I have been working with adolescents and adults in a therapeutic capacity since 2021.
In our sessions, we can discuss your situation in more detail and collaboratively find a suitable approach. Our goal might be to work through thoughts and emotions, explore challenges to find potential solutions, or identify and modify unhelpful patterns of behavior. The aim can also be to simply process a difficult period or topic together. I strive to build a confidential, active, and exploratory collaborative relationship with you. The foundation of my work is to ensure that you feel heard.
I offer single appointments, short-term psychotherapy, and long-term psychotherapy. I am a Kela service provider and accept clients over the age of 16 for Kela's rehabilitative psychotherapy. I also offer initial mental health consultations ("Mielen ensikäynti"), designed to help you take the first steps toward psychological support. During this initial visit, we will get to know each other, assess your current situation, symptoms, and problems, and decide on a focus for our work. This initial consultation can also serve as mental first aid in the event of a distressing experience.
I have experience with ADHD and also conduct DIVA interviews.
