I have been in private practice providing individual, family, couples, and group therapy for 25 years. My experience includes working as a clinical social worker at family services agencies. My treatment approach is primarily psychodynamic, but I use an eclectic approach depending on needs of my clients. I enjoy forming groups as an added or alternative modality if clients are interested. I am born and raised in Sweden, and fluent in this language. My experience of two cultures offers a different perspective and has sometimes been helpful for clients.

I am a clinical psychologist/yoga instructor with over 25 years of training, research and clinical work. The foundation of my practice is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and my therapeutic approach has evolved considerably since I first began. While traditional talk therapy itself is extremely beneficial, current research suggests that a holistic approach to treatment can often enhance or accelerate the healing process. Typically, my clients begin with traditional talk therapy, and based upon their individual needs, goals, preferences and lifestyle, I will offer a variety of modalities/tools/practices - but the choice is always theirs.

Since 1995, I have been involved in the field of adoption. For the first twelve years of my practice, I worked with families adopting domestically and internationally. Throughout that time, I began to realize that, although adoptive families experience the same challenges that all families face as their children develop, they cope with additional challenges which have their roots in adoption. I am able to provide you with sensitive, adoption-competent therapy which is based on the latest research in the field. I also have extensive experiences helping you navigate life's challenges and transitions.

I bet you've probably spent a good deal of time sifting through the sea of clinicians listed on this website, and let me tell you, it is a beast. Finding a good therapist is like dating. Who looks smart? Who seems warm and compassionate? Who's attractive? Nobody is perfect, but you don't want to settle either. Perhaps they have great insight and are very pedigreed, but don't seem particularly warm or approachable. Or vice versa. What to do? Shop around until you find a proper match. You are unique. Not every therapist may suit you.

NOW OFFERING SECURE ONLINE SESSIONS - convenient treatment in the privacy/comfort of your home or office. Build & Repair Your Relationship - our goal is to save marriages. I believe that marriage is a good thing - a superb tonic for mental health! Getting or staying married reduces symptoms of depression far more than being single or divorced, according to a noted study. We take a brief therapy approach, because no one wants to spend years, or even months in therapy - nor need they. We focus on solutions not problems, on the present not the past.

Often making the decision to seek professional help is not an easy one. I understand and respect the difficulties that individuals and families face coming to a therapist; whether it is for the first time, or other clinicians and modalities have been tired before. I do not believe in a "one treatment fits all approach" and use different approaches to work on interpersonal skills development, coping skills training, relationships, parenting, anxiety and depression management, and personal growth. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, who are motivated to make changes to meet their own personal treatment goals.
