My speciality is working with individuals experiencing issues with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, over-eating, grief and trauma. My approach is to first identify existing coping strategies to deal with the current stressors. Together, we sort out the underlying problems and identify and develop a tool kit with more effective coping strategies for the many challenges that the world throws at you. We examine and re-frame your emotional reactions to current and past trauma. The relationship between therapist and client is really important for change; and I do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere.
I like to work eclectically; focusing on strength's based and cognitive behavioral approaches to treatment, as well as utilizing mindfulness, and existential and narrative explorations of self. I often focus on identifying our many parts of self, finding building blocks for self-trust and self worth; striving for increased locus of control and self-efficacy.
Hailing from Norway, I also enjoy working with fellow ex-pats, managing acculturation and acclimation processes. My warm and informal approach often allows for conversations that otherwise are threatening and embarrassing to occur organically. Sex questions and intimacy problems are so much easier to tackle if we extract the unnecessary awkwardness!

I like to tailor each treatment plan to the specific needs of clients, using an integrated, holistic approach. We will be working on emotional regulation in the here & now, whilst also exploring how our negative patterns came to be in a curious and caring way. Exploring our past relationship problems and traumas does not have to be from a blame and shame focus, rather it is a story of strength.

I start off with dealing with the here & now; identifying coping strategies to deal with acute stressors, here I derive methods from DBT, CBT, EFT and ACT. To understand WHY we get caught in our negative patterns and to start creating new neural pathways for how to manage our nervous system, I draw from IFS, Polyvagal and Attachment theories. Tailored to each individual, it all comes together
