Therapy with me
Psychotherapy is a valuable tool for improving emotional well-being, strengthening mental health, and creating meaningful and lasting change in your life.
Therapy can help you:
-
Build self-esteem and self-confidence
-
Better understand and manage difficult emotions
-
Reduce anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
-
Change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior
-
Improve relationships and communication
-
Navigate life transitions and personal challenges
-
Develop greater self-awareness and resilience
A Safe Space for Growth
Therapy offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly.
During our first sessions, we will focus on understanding your concerns, exploring your personal history, and identifying the factors that may be contributing to your current difficulties. Together, we will develop a deeper understanding of what is happening and what you need in order to move forward.
As your therapist, I will support you in developing greater self-awareness, insight, and emotional understanding. Through this process, you can begin to recognize and transform unconscious patterns that may be limiting your well-being, relationships, or personal growth.
The goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you create a more fulfilling, authentic, and balanced life.

Support for International Clients
As an immigrant myself, I have both personal and professional experience with the challenges of adapting to a new culture.
Living between cultures can bring opportunities for growth, but it can also create feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, loss of identity, or difficulties finding a sense of belonging. I understand how cultural transitions can affect relationships, family life, work, and self-esteem.
Because I offer therapy in English, Danish, Swedish, and Finnish, I work with many international clients from around the world who are navigating life in Denmark and adjusting to a new cultural environment.
Experience in Crisis Support
Life inevitably brings periods of crisis. Illness, loss, relationship breakdowns, major life changes, or unexpected events can leave us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to move forward.
Through many years of experience working for an emergency assistance service for Nordic travelers and within psychological counseling, I have supported people facing both acute and ongoing crises.
I am accustomed to remaining calm and present in difficult situations and providing a supportive space where you can find stability, clarity, and a way forward, even during life's most challenging moments.

About me
I am a Finnish psychotherapist, supervisor, stress coach, and teacher who has lived in Denmark since 1986.
Over the years, I have also lived in Sweden, Spain, and Argentina, experiences that have shaped both my personal life and my professional understanding of people, relationships, and cultural identity.
My South American husband and I have been together since 1992.
Together, we have a blended family with four adult children – one daughter from his previous marriage and three children of our own.
As a person, I am calm, warm, open-minded, resilient, and honest. I believe that authenticity, compassion, and a healthy sense of humor are important ingredients in creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. These qualities are at the heart of my work as a psychotherapist, supervisor, and stress coach.
Having lived and worked across different cultures, and having always been part of diverse international communities, I have developed a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges that arise when people live between cultures or build a life in a new country.
I know from personal experience what it means to leave familiar surroundings behind and adapt to a different culture. The process can be enriching and transformative, but it can also evoke feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, loss, or questions about identity and belonging. These experiences often affect relationships, family life, work, and one's sense of self.
Because I offer therapy in English, Danish, Swedish, and Finnish, many of my clients come from international backgrounds. Over the years, I have worked with people from all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Canada, Italy, Spain, England, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
My clients seek support for a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, cultural adaptation, and personal growth. I feel privileged to accompany them as they navigate these important life journeys.
Since graduating from GIS International, I have remained deeply committed to my professional and personal development. I regularly participate in advanced training, supervision, and my own therapeutic work, ensuring that I continue to grow both as a practitioner and as a person.
I believe that effective therapy is grounded not only in professional knowledge and experience, but also in self-awareness, curiosity, and a genuine commitment to ongoing learning.
