I am available for counselling across Canada as a Certified Canadian Counsellor, either in-person in AB, or virtually. I work with individuals, families and couples in different life stages offering supportive, culturally inclusive therapy. My focus is on the wellbeing of the client(s) as we work towards your goals in life and wellbeing. I use a combination of therapy modalities to help and heal challenges with somatic experiencing, thought patterns, behaviours, emotions, trauma and learned patterns that keep you from moving forward in life. I have lived in Canada for 20 years and I speak fluent Finnish and English.
We explore your life, challenges, and strengths together with empathy and move towards your goals in life. I have many techniques available for helping you including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR (trauma work) and Gottman’s couples therapy.
My approach to providing therapy is client-centered, anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed.
