The struggles and questions I work with

• A persistent feeling of living a life that isn’t truly your own

• Life crises, including those that feel long and exhausting

• A fragile or quiet sense of self-worth

• Difficulties in relationships, including a longing for deeper trust or intimacy

• Finding it hard to make choices and decisions

• Depressive states and the weight of anxiety

• Navigating grief, loss, and mourning

• Emotional burnout and exhaustion

• As well as other inner experiences and difficulties that keep you from living your life fully and authentically.

Biography

I practice within the existential approach, walking alongside adults as they seek to live their lives with greater awareness and wholeness. I welcome clients for both deep, long-term exploration and focused, short-term support — in person in Riga and online. I also facilitate therapeutic groups, creating a safe, shared space to explore yourself, your emotions, and your ways of being in relationship with others and with your own soul.

Over the years, I have developed a steady personal style of practice that mirrors who I am — gentle, attentive, grounded, honest, open, and direct. Yet, every single meeting with a client and every group session remains a creative process for me. There are no ready-made formulas here, only a welcoming space for collaborative searching and genuine human meeting.

For me, sitting in the therapist’s chair means being truly alive and authentically present with another. It is a space where knowledge and interpretations matter far less than dialogue and a shared exploration of how a person lives their life and how they might find the freedom to become more fully themselves.

Having walked my own path as a client in therapy, I rely not only on professional knowledge but also on this deep, personal journey. It allows me to truly feel and understand the subtle, delicate layers of the therapeutic process from the inside out.

Becoming a psychotherapist was my second professional journey. This was a conscious choice I made in my mature years. Today, my private practice, combined with continuous, deep learning, is one of the most meaningful cornerstones of my life.

Currently, I am continuing my training in the programs “Existential Psychotherapy” and “Group Psychotherapy” at the Lithuanian Institute of Humanistic and Existential Psychology (HEPI). In addition, I receive regular supervision for my practice, study existential philosophy, and participate in therapeutic and educational projects. All of this helps me cultivate professionalism and deep presence, allowing me to better understand the nuances of human life and the quiet art of psychotherapy.

Core Principles of My Practice

• Genuine curiosity

  I approach your inner world—your unique experiences, feelings, and the ways you choose to live—with a living, warm curiosity, grounded in deep respect and acceptance.

  
  

• Openness

  I openly share the questions, feelings, doubts, and insights that arise in me during our sessions, not as absolute truths, but as reflections for us to look at together.

  
  

• Therapeutic purpose

  Every step of our work is attuned to your needs and wishes, serving a shared therapeutic path that we discover and shape together.

  
  

• Freedom and autonomy

  My hope is to help you grow in your inner freedom, self-reliance, and capacity to make choices and take responsibility, rather than creating a dependency on therapy.

  
  

• Sensitivity to the unspoken

  I try to remain attentive not only to words, but to the pauses, the silences, and the subtle things that unfold “between us” in our contact.
