Create a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good on the outside
In a world that often feels messy, overwhelming, and uncertain, it’s no wonder we don’t always feel okay. Emotional and mental health maintenance isn’t just for moments of crisis — it’s part of what helps us thrive, not just survive.
Whether you’re navigating daily stress, emotional overload, or something more distressing, finding the right support can make all the difference.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist, and I help people who look completely put together actually feel that way — from the inside out.
Emotional wellbeing isn’t a luxury — it’s essential.
Wherever you are on the mental health spectrum, I offer therapy that’s insightful, nurturing, and gently challenging. Together, we work toward meaningful change — to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself.
I’m passionate about improving the mental and emotional wellbeing of the people I work with. I provide psychological assessment and therapy for a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and psychological difficulties.
Because the truth is: wellness takes work. But it’s work worth doing.
THERAPIST
I run a private practice in Stavanger as well as provide therapy online. I earned my Masters degree at The University of Edinburgh and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at The University of Glasgow, in the UK.
WRITER
In addition to my blog, I am a contributing writer at Stavanger Chamber of Commerce. I also regularly contribute to a wide variety of popular publications including Norways News in English & the BBC.
SPEAKER
I enjoy getting people thinking about the ways they think. I give talks and lead discussions. When communities are engaged in prioritizing their emotional wellbeing, everything (and everyone) works better.
Specialist Areas
“It is literally impossible to be a woman...You have to be thin, but not too thin. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us”
I take a grounded, creative, and empathetic approach to therapy, supporting clients in developing greater self-awareness and making real, lasting changes — both personally and in their relationships.
With over 17 years of experience, I work with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, and work-related stress.
I have a particular passion for and commitment to women’s mental health. I specialise in supporting women through the emotional and psychological experiences that uniquely affect them — from pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period, to perimenopause and menopause.
My approach combines a deep understanding of trauma and life transitions with practical, evidence-based tools to help you feel more grounded, more resilient, and more connected to yourself. I believe in creating a therapeutic space where you feel seen, heard, and supported — especially in the seasons of life that can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or invisible.
I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective method for processing difficult memories and traumatic experiences.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
PHILOSOPHY
I don’t believe in practicing from a distance and bring my real self into my work in an accessible and open way. I am wholeheartedly invested in the people I work with and believe therapy works best when it is a collaborative process. I strive to maintain the most engaging, effective and ethically sound practice possible. The heart of my philosophy is reflected in the ten principles of my practice below.
