For many, making the decision and booking an appointment with a psychologist can be experienced as demanding. It can be difficult and feel vulnerable to have to talk to someone about how we really feel. I am therefore concerned with creating an open, warm and respectful atmosphere in the therapy room so that it feels possible for you to talk about what you are struggling with. For me, it is important that we start from what you are bothered by, feel stuck in and or that creates challenges in relation to yourself or others, so that we can work together so that you can feel freer and more flexible in the meeting with the challenges for which you are seeking therapy. I have a lot of experience with therapeutic work aimed at e.g. brooding, self-esteem problems, anxiety, restlessness, depression, intoxication, trauma, loneliness and fatigue. I am particularly concerned with how the way we relate to ourselves and what goes on inside us affects both how we feel about ourselves, and how we feel in relation to other people and to life in general.
I graduated as a psychologist in 2007, and became a specialist in 2018. Over the years, I have worked in various parts of public mental health care and in the addiction field, but mainly at DPS, where I have worked with a wide range of psychological challenges. In recent years I have been associated with PsykologVirke. Here I work with individual therapy for adults, and primarily within an ISTDP (Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy) oriented understanding framework, but I also integrate other perspectives and methods as needed. I also offer EMDR treatment. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and is a method for processing trauma reactions. You can read more about both ISTDP and EMDR here on PsykologVirke's website.
