About Me

I feel slightly embarrassed talking about myself. I am a shy, private person. I like calm and routine, and I enjoy observing, noticing, listening, and understanding. I like to taste and smell, and it's important to me to allow myself to feel however I'm feeling at the moment - sometimes I laugh and make jokes, and other times I get teary. I'm interested in people, and I care about them. I love living.

For six years, I studied philosophy at Vilnius University, where I learned to see the world curiously, openly, and critically. For twenty years, I have learned from children, teenagers, and young people, teaching them philosophy and consulting them. For four years, I volunteered and supervised at the Child Line. For another four years, I learned Gestalt psychotherapy at the "Dialogas" Institute and successfully passed the exam. I continue to learn at Summer Residentials of Gestalt Associate Training Los Angeles (GATLA) to further my knowledge. I attend workshops on various topics, including work with organizations, couples, LGBT people, body, grief, depression, addictions, suicide, anxiety, shame, and more. I learn every day - from successes and failures, and from every person I meet.

For me, psychotherapy is an open, honest, and caring meeting. It gives people the opportunity to meet themselves and become aware of how they keep up living a life that lacks satisfaction, meaning, or joy. And then support them to find the courage to choose how they want to live from now on.
