My Approach

I draw on IFS — Internal Family Systems — because it offers a clear, compassionate way to understand your inner world.I also draw on my own life: living across countries, cultures, and ways of being. I've learned that belonging isn't a place — it's a practice.This work holds both: your inner family, and the outer worlds you're navigating.What we might explore together:→ The layers of cultural identity — what you carry, what you've left behind, what you're still figuring out.→ The inherited patterns — from family, from culture, from the worlds you've moved through.→ The quiet weight of transition — losing your bearings, finding your footing, starting over again.


Working With Me

No two sessions look the same. But here's what you might experience:Meeting your inner family — The critic, the rusher, the pleaser, the one who numbs out. We listen. Beneath them is a place already calm, clear, capable. From there, you move differently — less driven by fear, more aligned.Navigating the between — Not as a problem to solve, but as a lived experience to explore. What does it mean to be stretched between worlds—to belong everywhere and nowhere, and still search for home?Noticing what isn't yours — We gently separate what's yours from what was passed down — so each can be tended to in its own way.Magic beyond words — I may use rhythm, breath, or movement when words get in the way.Sessions are 60 minutes, virtual, in English or Finnish.→ I offer a free intro session to see if it's a fit.


About Me

I'm Riitta—born and raised in Finland, reshaped by life across continents since young adulthood, part of a blended, multicultural family, and still exploring the complexity of what it means to feel rooted. I know the quiet weight of starting over, the messy work of belonging, and the profound richness of holding more than one world.I hold an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and am trained in IFS. I draw from my clinical background when it's helpful.If you're at a crossing, wondering what's next — I'd be honored to pause there with you.
