I'm a psychotherapist with an international perspective. I've lived and worked in the US, UK, and Sweden and I am fluent in both English and Swedish. Before obtaining my MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles, I pursued my passion for the entertainment industry. I earned my MFA in Entertainment Business (The Producer's Program) from UCLA and embarked on a 20-year career in
Los Angeles, London, and Stockholm as a writer/consultant/Producer). Alongside my professional endeavors, I also raised three wonderful children. These diverse experiences have shaped my understanding of the complexities and demands faced by individuals in both the entertainment industry and the realm of parenthood. Today, as a licensed psychotherapist, I draw upon this rich background to provide comprehensive support and guidance to my clients. In addition to my extensive clinical education and training in psychology, I have pursued additional certifications and specialized training to enhance my therapeutic approach. I am a certified mindfulness coach/facilitator (IMTA), equipped with the tools to integrate mindfulness practices into therapy. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective therapeutic technique for addressing trauma, anxiety and a broad range of issues. As a committed professional, I maintain active membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a license as a psychotherapist in the State of California (LMFT). Acquiring this license involved completing 3000 supervised hours and comprehensive training in a wide range of mental health concerns. Notably, I have gained valuable experience working with dual diagnoses at both residential and non-residential rehabs in Los Angeles and Malibu. To further expand my therapeutic expertise, I underwent training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the prestigious Maple Center Clinic in Beverly Hills. This specialised training has provided me with a deep understanding of the complexities of the human mind and how early experiences shape our emotional well-being. By combining my clinical education, certifications, diverse training experiences, I bring a comprehensive and integrative approach to therapy, tailored to address the unique needs of each client. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and transformative therapeutic journey for individuals seeking personal growth and healing.. I'm passionate about helping people live their best lives. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and thrive, and I'm committed to providing my clients with the tools and support they need to reach their full potential. I'm always looking for new ways to learn and grow, and I'm excited to share my knowledge and experience with others. If you're looking for a therapist who can help you on your journey to healing and growth, I'd be honoured to work with you.
