Psychologist

“I offer supportive conversations for individuals navigating difficult moments, life transitions, or emotional challenges. My work focuses on creating a calm and confidential space where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be shaping your experiences and look for practical ways to move forward and improve your well-being. Note: I am a psychologist by training and have professional experience in the field prior to relocating to Sweden. I am currently in the process of obtaining my psychologist license in Sweden and offer counseling sessions based on my training and experience.”

About Me

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical and Health Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Psychological Counseling and Guidance. My education and practical experience in different care settings have shaped my interest in supporting emotional well-being and personal growth. I have worked in a variety of environments, including clinical, school, and care settings, where I supported individuals facing different life challenges. These experiences allow me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and situations.

Approach

My work is based on supportive and collaborative conversations. I aim to create a calm and respectful space where you can reflect on your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Together, we explore what you are going through and look for ways to understand your situation more clearly. We also discuss practical strategies that can support you in everyday life.

Services

I offer supportive conversations for individuals and couples who may be experiencing emotional challenges, life transitions, or periods of uncertainty. People often seek support for topics such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life changes, identity questions, or personal growth. I also have experience supporting expats and international clients who may be navigating cultural adjustment, relocation, or living between different cultures. These experiences can sometimes bring unique emotional and relational challenges, and our conversations can provide a supportive space to explore and understand them.
