I believe we become whole when someone dares to sit beside us in what is hard.
As a small child I was adopted to Denmark and grew up in the countryside in a home where openness and respect for the individual mattered deeply regardless of culture, faith or background. Those values still shape every conversation I have.
I also know grief from the inside. Life has taken me through several kinds of loss of parents, of a close friend to suicide, of the familiar. Without making my experiences yours, I know what it is like when the world suddenly looks different, and how much it means to have somewhere to bring it.
I hold an international MSc in Psychology, am an existential psychotherapist and have a cross-disciplinary background rooted in social work. For more than 15 years I have worked with people in grief, crisis and life transitions.
I have lived several years abroad first in the US, then in Switzerland and today I am based back in Denmark. Life across languages and cultures has given me a deep feeling for identity, belonging and the courage it takes to begin again.
Alongside my practice I supervise volunteers at Save the Children Youth (Red Barnet Ungdom). Lecturer in Social Work at University College Absalon, Roskilde Campus, teaching within the field of psychology. I have also founded Blossom, an NGO supporting women in vulnerable life situations.
