My Background and Approach

• Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Copenhagen (2010)
• Bachelor's degree in Intercultural studies from Roskilde University (2003).
• Two-year specialist training in Cognitive Therapy
• Certified EMDR therapist, a highly effective method for treating trauma
• Trained instructor in the Open and Calm stress management program
• Heartfulness meditation trainer

My approach to therapy is inspired by Metacognitive Therapy, Mindfulness, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

When relevant, I incorporate techniques such as breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation into therapy sessions.

To ensure I provide the best possible treatment, I continuously engage in professional training, courses, and supervision.

I offer individual therapy sessions and group programs and also provide supervision for psychologists as well as professionals in the social and healthcare sectors.

Experience

For ten years, I was part of Wattar Gruppen, a large private cognitive psychology practice in Copenhagen, where I worked with individual therapy and group programs for young people, individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. I also taught mindfulness and coordinated social psychology projects in collaboration with NGOs and municipalities.

Additionally, I spent four years as an in-house psychologist at a women’s shelter in Copenhagen, specializing in trauma treatment, crisis reactions, and the development of social support services. I have also been affiliated with VISO as a specialist in domestic violence.

My international experience includes research projects at Harvard and Brown University in the USA, as well as a consultancy role at the United Nations headquarters in New York, focusing on the social integration of vulnerable groups.

I grew up in a multicultural and multilingual family, in both the USA and Denmark and later living in various countries as an adult. I am fluent in both English and Danish and have a background in intercultural studies. With years of experience working with foreigners and expats in Denmark, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges they may face. My personal and professional experience allows me to provide specialized support in navigating the complexities of living as a foreigner in Denmark.

I am 44 years old and live in Amager with my husband and our three children.
