I am very comfortable and experienced in tele therapy and working with clients remotely using secure videoconferencing platform (or phone).
About
Feeling stuck or experiencing life and relationships as old or frustrating? Life can at times be over-whelming, but it does not need to stay that way. Through a collaborative process, I help my clients to both understand themselves and effectively transform their lives and live more fully. I work with my clients as partners, and my sessions are interactive and productive. While the work can be deep and transformative, the approach is strength-based and pragmatic. We are all unique, and there is no method that fits everybody. Our work together is a joint and respectful discovery tailored to meet your specific goals and needs.
I am trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, and I have broad clinical experience including a psychiatric hospital and Johns Hopkins and Howard Universities. I am a national award-winning researcher on gender-issues, teach doctoral students in clinical psychology, and my work is informed by latest findings in neurosciences and the field of psychology.
I offer a unique blend of two very different backgrounds. Previously, I accumulated over fifteen years of professional corporate experience providing me first-hand experience of the strains of corporate life and transitions on self and relationships. I grew up in Scandinavia, and I work comfortably with people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
