My clinical interests overlap with those of my teaching and research. I currently work, both, at the Finnish Student Health Services and at our psychologists’ cooperative Aatos in Turku, Finland. I am also a member of the Finnish Red Cross’ Psychologists’ Emergency Response Team, a group called to action during national emergencies. I also have the privilege to serve as a member of the advisory panel for the EU Centre of Expertise for Victims of Terrorism.

My main clinical focus is twofold: treating people who have undergone single or complex traumatic experiences, and the treatment of people suffering from personality disorders and/or self-harm. Additionally, I have worked with a variety of mental health concerns in primary care as well as with people suffering from severe psychoses.

My theoretical framework is integrative, with an emphasis on mentalization-based treatment (MBT). I’m currently serving as the chair of the Finnish Mentalization Association. In addition to being trained for MBT at the Anna Freud Centre in London, I also have additional training in, for example, EMDR and Cognitive Therapy for PTSD.
