My formal training

My background

I obtained my master's degree in psychology in 2024 and am currently enrolled in a four-year training program in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), set to complete in 2028. Alongside my training in CBT, I have achieved Level 2 certification in the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach that enhances couples' relationships by developing deeper understanding and stronger connections between partners. I also completed separate courses regarding trauma and affairs in couples work as well as CBT-E training for eating disorders in 2026.

I keep reading and learning about different types of techniques and tools to help you in the best way I can.

I grew up in Lithuania and have worked and studies in France, Italy, the Netherlands for the past 14 years before deciding to settle in Belgium.

Psychology & human behavior has interested me for as long as I can remember. It was my biggest hobby for 10 years before I decided to get my master's degree and turn it into a job I absolutely love.

While following my CBT psychotherapy training next to work, I don't get to have lots of free time, but my hobbies consist of hanging out with my rescue dog Charlie, moving (walking, swimming, biking), being creative (mostly making jewelry) and my most recent discovery - diving.

About me

It feels like I got an opportunity to live a couple of lives before finding this path which makes me feel the most fulfilled.

Before following my heart to study psychology and turning this live-long passion into an actual job, I had obtained another master's degree in the field of quantitative economic methods. I have worked for 5+ years in research in behavioral finance, until fully accepting that the finance part never interested me and that it was about people and their behaviour all along.
