As determination, consistency and support are important features when tackling various problems, I am always here for the client and can offer different approaches and tools when dealing with them. I am determined that every problem has a solution and this is what I am here for - to help them solve with You.

After graduating from high school, I decided to continue my education in England. To date, I have earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Westminster and a master's degree from Goldsmiths University of London, both in cognitive and clinical neuroscience. For my bachelor's thesis, I studied the relationship and co-occurrence of prosopagnosia and aphantasia.

Namely, prosopagnosia is a disorder of interpreting and recognizing faces, and aphantasia is a lack of imagination.

As part of my master's thesis, I studied the intentionality and hostility tendencies of borderline personality disorder in the general population.

Thus, I am now back in Estonia and ready to apply knowledge to practice.

I have completed a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy course, which can be effectively applied to depression, anxiety, stress and negative thought patterns, in order to improve the quality of life and effectively face challenges. As neuroscience and psychology are my passion, I often attend seminars and courses as well as read scientific literature and research papers to gain further knowledge in the field.
