It was the deep voice of my Self, still unrecognizable at the time, and the Trickster part of my psyche that led me down the path of psychology, which helped me to fail to pass with the highest grades in the disciplines that I knew best, and to fail to get into the specialties that my Ego was choosing at the time. After all the Law and Political sciences, number seven on my list was psychology, which I did not even recall considering as a conscious choice, so I say that psychology, or the soul, had chosen me before I discovered it, and it continued to lead me along the path marked with the number seven.
My professional interest during university was aimed at studying human aggressive behavior, facial micro expressions of emotions, detecting lie and deceit, non-verbal behavior and body language. My master degree I defended on creating experimental situation was assessment of the effect of cartoon violence on children’s behavior while they play. I always felt an interest in this field of psychology by detailed observing people of how their express themselves and especially what they try to hide from others. At the same time, my clinical training in academic psychology were complemented with courses and seminars on color therapy, archetypal psychology, myth, and symbols. When I defended my master’s degree in psychology in 2009, I could start to work with others and maintain my private practice.
My academic orientation was definitely toward analyzing the darkest spheres of psychology, and research on aggression marked the beginning of this path. The master’s thesis led to the publication of a scientific article. I did not choose to pursue an academic path, as I took a post-graduate direction towards clinical, psychotherapeutic work, but my interest in the inner most aggressive parts of the psyche, which are deeply hidden under many layers, attacking and disturbing the lives of men and women alike, has helped me in finding a way out of depression, eating disorders, suicidal threats, panic attacks and many more forms of inner aggression that make our lives unbearable, unhappy and unfulfilling.
In postgraduate studies, Gestalt psychotherapy laid the foundations for understanding the interiority and wholeness of personality, distinguishing inner parts, and understanding inner dynamics. Jung’s analytical psychology opened up even broader horizons for exploring the personal and collective unconscious, to see and think in terms of much more profound layers and complexity of the psyche. During this time, I was interested in studying the Holy Grail tradition. I wrote a psychological analysis of Parcival and the initial stages of the Grail legend. In 2017, I qualified as a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist. I was attracted to the Jungian path because of its psychology, which is inseparable from spirituality, a psychology that seeks a way to unite the worlds of matter and spirit.
Personally and professionally, I have always been interested in the duality of the psyche, the things we call good and evil, light and dark, and how we create dogmas around these opposites. I have been interested in how the inner and outer worlds are intrinsically linked, where the dividing line is, and how the outer world reflects our inner world. In 2019, I wrote a thesis on Light and Darkness in the Unconscious of Modern Man: The Shadow Archetype in Dreams and Therapy. In this work, I chose to look at freedom from the perspective of analytical psychology, exploring the expression of the psyche in the one-sidedness in which the Shadow is born and how we create darkness and lose our freedom. I analyzed possible directions of the psyche’s search for the unity in which any opposites alchemically merge.
I completed my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Psychology at Vilnius University from 2003 to 2009. Since 2011, my postgraduate studies have encompassed Gestalt therapy and Jungian analytical psychology, recognized as the psychology of depths, shaping my understanding of concepts and leaving ample space for my own individuation. This journey is a slow, pause-filled path, and for me, it has never been centered on a degree or diploma.

I observed nature in my early days, especially in the woods, where I spent lots of time. Living so close to nature taught me essential freedom from any concepts and organizations, following the path that unfolds only by moving from the center of I AM. My special interest in horses, having raised three, explores natural horsemanship dynamics and structures of relationships. Horses have taught me the foundations of health, inner rhythms, and the psychology of soul-relatedness. They’ve formed my strong trust in my intuition and body signals, taught me silence, patience in the unknown, to be able to wait, and to communicate without words.

Drawing parallels between swordsmanship, horsemanship, and the term "soul-man-ship," I find a subtle art within the psychic field. I see therapy, a process of personal analysis, as a long journey of swimming together in the vast ocean of the unconscious, encountering its various waters - calm, stormy - but always knowing the direction and reaching new shores. These concepts describe my experiences and feelings, signifying a unity of human being with the soul.

I studied my own symptoms and energy in alternative methods of Qigong, Reiki, and other Oriental healing practices, which I first took over from my mother while growing up. I have always been taught to look deeply into the causes of my symptoms, analyze them, and help myself get better without suppressing anything. My immersion in Osteopathic studies in Riga, particularly Biodynamic Osteopathy, opened paths into the quantum field of healing. I am in a perpetual process of growth, embodying the role of an initiate rather than a master.

At the beginning of my path, volunteering offered the opportunity to learn directly from the experience of elders, while at the same time consolidating in my profession a path of service, a choice to care, to give and a clear clarification of what I can give to others. I carry very many episodes from this period of my life in my heart, and this time also brought me an important friendship. I volunteered in a psychiatric clinic specializing in Eating Disorders and group psychotherapy, influencing my subsequent work with individuals and families dealing with bulimia and anorexia. In 2012, a brief volunteer stint in Moshi, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, with “Homeopathy For Health in Africa,” expanded my psychic horizons, leaving an indelible imprint on my soul.

There is a lot of information, I am speaking from my many years of professional and personal experience, workshops come from the depths of the intuitive field, based on many synchronicities in my own path, travels in the Great Britain, mythological Lithuania, ancient Egypt, Israel, and is therefore designed to awaken and tap into the intuitive inner part of everyone, which is often unheard or unheeded, to recognise the subtle signs along the way, and to connect the inner and outer.

Sacred geometry, archetypes, and symbols accompany me on my individuation and reveal parallels between the collective and individual psyche, macrocosmic realms, and cell development, providing a solid basis for applying my knowledge and understanding. My explorations in alchemy and astrology, the different cultural backgrounds of fairy tales, and the hidden language of dreams contributed to my therapeutic experiences. Vast collection and passionate interest in crystals, minerals, and metals deepened my holistic orientation and explorations.

Books accompany my life as a multi-layered living world of the past, captured on the pages. There are books that only let you into their spaces over a long period of time, as if you had to get permission, to be in the right frame of mind. My book is slowly coming into being by showing me what I have to reveal in it. I started with one in-depth analysis of a profound change process in psychotherapy, overcoming very aggressive inner mechanisms, completely transforming the dynamics of the eating disorder. "The Most Sensitive Touches" is about healing and integration processes, in which I talk openly about my professional and personal path and choices.

There could be various functions of how therapeutic forces work in the shared space of encounter - they initiate and structure psychic energy, safely hold the invisible field, and contain the protective membrane sphere for the tiniest moves within to enact a deep transformation on both sides. As a therapist, I feel I function in others’ processes by giving a sense of importance, which others may experience as inspiration, motivation, love, and challenge. A sense of importance for inner things restores damaged inner value, which is a cause of a lost inner compass and disturbed relationships. Attracted by the law of resonance, together we create a field where therapeutic forces move the process, letting symbols emerge and guide us. My work is to see the spark within and help it flame.

My master degree I defended on creating experimental situation was assessment of the effect of cartoon violence on children’s behavior while they play. I always felt an interest in this field of psychology by detailed observing people of how their express themselves and especially what they try to hide from others. At the same time, my clinical training in academic psychology were complemented with courses and seminars on color therapy, archetypal psychology, myth, and symbols. When I defended my master’s degree in psychology in 2009, I could start to work with others and maintain my private practice.
My academic orientation was definitely toward analyzing the darkest spheres of psychology, and research on aggression marked the beginning of this path. The master’s thesis led to the publication of a scientific article. I did not choose to pursue an academic path, as I took a post-graduate direction towards clinical, psychotherapeutic work, but my interest in the inner most aggressive parts of the psyche, which are deeply hidden under many layers, attacking and disturbing the lives of men and women alike, has helped me in finding a way out of depression, eating disorders, suicidal threats, panic attacks and many more forms of inner aggression that make our lives unbearable, unhappy and unfulfilling.
In postgraduate studies, Gestalt psychotherapy laid the foundations for understanding the interiority and wholeness of personality, distinguishing inner parts, and understanding inner dynamics. Jung’s analytical psychology opened up even broader horizons for exploring the personal and collective unconscious, to see and think in terms of much more profound layers and complexity of the psyche. During this time, I was interested in studying the Holy Grail tradition. I wrote a psychological analysis of Parcival and the initial stages of the Grail legend. In 2017, I qualified as a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist. I was attracted to the Jungian path because of its psychology, which is inseparable from spirituality, a psychology that seeks a way to unite the worlds of matter and spirit.
Personally and professionally, I have always been interested in the duality of the psyche, the things we call good and evil, light and dark, and how we create dogmas around these opposites. I have been interested in how the inner and outer worlds are intrinsically linked, where the dividing line is, and how the outer world reflects our inner world. In 2019, I wrote a thesis on Light and Darkness in the Unconscious of Modern Man: The Shadow Archetype in Dreams and Therapy. In this work, I chose to look at freedom from the perspective of analytical psychology, exploring the expression of the psyche in the one-sidedness in which the Shadow is born and how we create darkness and lose our freedom. I analyzed possible directions of the psyche’s search for the unity in which any opposites alchemically merge.
