I accept adults and adolescents from the age of 12.

I have always been fascinated with psychiatry as a field because of its complexity – as a psychiatrist you treat a person’s soul, but that in turn requires knowing something about the body, because so many psychiatric disorders manifest themselves physiologically and vice versa. As a doctor, I like to see a patient as a complete person, which then also can lead to a much better therapeutic outcome.

I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tartu in 2006 and then completed my residency in psychiatry in 2013. My experience as a psychiatrist so far I have gained from working in major psychiatric centres and private clinics in Estonia and Finland, including the primary psychiatric unit of the West-Helsinki Psychiatric Polyclinic, Kokkola and Lahti Central Hospitals and the psychiatric polyclinic of the North-Estonian Regional Hospital.

I am most experienced in the treatment of anxiety-related conditions (e.g. panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder) and various mood disorders (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder). In recent years, I have also had a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

I consider cooperation and active listening to be the most important aspects of my work. Years of experience have taught me that therapeutic results can only be achieved through building a trusting and empathic relationship.

I am continuously widening my knowledge through professional training in Estonia and abroad. I have completed basic courses in cognitive-behavioural therapy and systemic family therapy.

I belong to the Estonian Medical Association.

I work with adults.

Qualifications: clinical psychologist 8; neuropsychologist 7

I have a Master of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Tartu (2006) and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Sussex, UK (2013). From 2014-2017 I completed a training in existential analysis counselling and logotherapy in Berlin at the Akademie für Existenzanalyse und Logotherapie and in 2018 I completed an ISST accredited training in scheme therapy in Tartu. I currently continue my education in this field. As part of my Master’s studies, I completed a cognitive-behavioural therapy basic course and a selection of disorder-specific courses at Tartu University.

My work is based primarily on the principles of scheme therapy and existential psychotherapy, using cognitive-behavioural models where appropriate. In autumn 2020, I was trained as a group leader of the parent counselling method “Good Enough Parenting” based on scheme therapy.

My special interest is neuropsychology, in both diagnostic and restorative neuropsychology frameworks, which has led me to work in in-patient rehabilitation at Põlva Hospital and Ida-Tallinna Central Hospital. It has also inspired me to attend several international conferences and to continue my education at the University of Bern, Switzerland, as part of my master studies. I am currently applying this knowledge in cognition assessment and neuropsychological studies in the treatment of various complaints.

During my doctoral studies, I focused on the emotional effects of music on both healthy adults and patients with depression. In addition to my clinical work I have been teaching postgraduate students at Tallinn University as well as supervising research.

Therapy for families and couples in Estonian.

I have a lifelong interest in relationships, mental health disorders and family well-being. I am a psychologist and family therapist and have been actively helping people for over a decade.

I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Tallinn University. I have completed training in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, basic training in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Level I and Level II Competence Training as a Family Psychotherapist, as well as a number of further training courses in family work. I consider it important to continuously take care of maintaining and developing my professional qualifications. This summer, I will complete my level III training as a family psychotherapist.

I have worked in counselling centres, schools and kindergartens, and have been counselling students, families, single parents, teachers and others. I have been involved with the treatment of a variety of mental and behavioural disorders (anxiety disorders, depression, attention deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, suicide attempts, etc.), I’ve treated psychiatric patients and have worked with many professionals in the field. In recent years, I have dedicated myself to private counselling for couples and family work.

My greatest successes in my work have been in helping young children, adolescents and adults whose mental health problems have robbed them of hope and, in the worst cases, of the will to live. Providing a supportive and safe environment for each family member and consistently working with families to reach the goals we have set together characterise both me and my approach to my work. As a family therapist, I have experienced how exploring and understanding family patterns, subsystems and structure, and making the necessary changes, has initiated life-changing processes in both younger and older people.

I am a psychologist-counselor in my professional qualification year.

I completed my Master’s degree in Psychology in 2025 at Tallinn University. I am currently undergoing a professional year as a psychologist-counselor, which involves weekly professional development and supervision. Supervision means that my mentor provides me with work-related guidance.

I have completed an introductory course in family therapy, an introductory course on the cognitive-behavioral therapy of child and adolescent psychology, and various shorter training related to trauma and grief. Additionally, I have participated in various training related to Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).

In my work, I start from the client’s worldview. I help the client find their own way to cope with current difficulties and discover joy in their everyday life. Sometimes, change only requires awareness. I support the client in identifying limiting patterns they’ve learned previously in their life and which are not working anymore. And then help find the resources for change.

I work as a school psychologist in vocational school and I have been counseling adults since 2022.
