Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist, Limited Licensed Psychologist and Psychologist
Welcome !
My name is Emilija and I'm a psychologist, as well as a CBT therapist in training.
In my work, I combine a structured rational-emotive approach with warmth and genuine understanding. I believe that meaningful change does not come from advice, but from a process in which we explore together the thinking patterns behind anxiety, low mood, perfectionism, procrastination, self-criticism, and the persistent feeling of “not being enough” — and gradually learn how to replace them with healthier, more flexible beliefs.
Alongside my work with adults, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in an international school setting, as well as providing counseling support to parents. Child development, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and parental guidance are important parts of my professional focus.
Having lived abroad for many years, I deeply understand the challenges of building a life in a different country — adapting to new cultures, navigating identity, feeling in-between worlds, and managing the quiet pressure to be strong and capable. If you are part of the diaspora or going through a significant life transition, we will likely relate easily.
In therapy, we work actively together — in a clear, supportive, and structured way — with the goal of building emotional resilience, psychological flexibility, and unconditional self-acceptance.
If you feel ready for change, I would be glad to begin this process with you.
