About Me

My journey of personal growth and becoming a therapist began with a desire to understand myself—my emotions, relationships, and the recurring patterns that influenced my choices and well-being.

I grew up in difficult circumstances, without the sense of safety, care, and stability that every child needs. My childhood included physical punishment, hunger and food insecurity, emotional invalidation, and the recurring experience of feeling that I was neither intelligent nor worthy enough. I also experienced sexual abuse within my family. These experiences left a profound mark on me and eventually led to depression, where the emotional pain became so overwhelming that I no longer wanted to live.

The need to understand what was happening within me, and the desire to find my way back to myself and to life, led me to therapy and personal growth. Over time, this developed into a wish to become a therapist and support others on their own journeys of healing and change.

My personal experiences do not give me ready-made answers about another person’s life. However, they have taught me to listen without judgement and to recognise pain that a person may not yet have words for. I understand how important it is that therapy does not feel rushed, that a person’s experiences are never minimised, and that no one is pressured to share more than they are ready to.

Alongside my personal experience, my work is grounded in extensive professional training and a range of therapeutic approaches. I see each person as a whole—taking into account their emotional, physical, relational, and sexual world—and choose ways of working according to what will best support the individual or the relationship.

Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT, plays an important role in my work. I lead the EFT couples therapy community in Estonia, contributing to the development and wider awareness of this approach while helping to strengthen the professional community of EFT therapists. I believe it is important that more people and couples find their way towards a safer connection, greater closeness, and a deeper understanding of one another.

My professional path has been diverse. I have worked in marketing and communications for more than 15 years, leading teams and developing brands. For much of that time, I have worked at The Walt Disney Company, managing the Baltic market. This experience has taught me a great deal about people, collaboration, responsibility, and the courage to bring about change.

In my personal life, I am the mother of a 21-year-old daughter, and my everyday companion is a Shiba Inu whom you may occasionally meet in the therapy room. In my free time, I find nourishment in meditation, spending time in nature, meaningful conversations, reading, art, history, travelling, and time shared with friends and loved ones.

Gratitude and love are at the heart of my life—love for myself, for those close to me, and for life itself. This is also the inspiration behind the name Armastusetee, meaning The Path of Love. To me, it represents the journey back to ourselves, enabling us to create more authentic and secure connections with others.

🌿 I believe that change begins the moment we find the courage to turn towards ourselves with curiosity and compassion. In therapy, I will be by your side on that journey.
