I carry out assessment and formulate diagnoses by using clinical interview, observation and psychological tests.
I can provide different type of help and treatment: cognitive therapy, psychodynamic, emotion-focused therapy, or integrative approach. I will find out which kind of approach is the most appropriate one for you!
I can also provide group-therapy for those with a PTSD diagnose. This is an area in which I would like to do some in-depth clinical studies. This is of especial interest for me to explore how culturally-anchored characteristics in patient group with a non-Norwegian ethnicity may explain differences in symptom expression.
Consultations can get provided online via Skype if you do not live here and cannot meet up in person.
I can provide consultations to families with child with special learning and educational needs such as dyslexia, aphasia or general reading and language difficulties. If you have a minority background and use several languages than Norwegian at home, I may help you to handle development of bi-/multilingualism in your children in a good way.
Certain family life phases can be challenging, for example hard times with respect to childbirth, puberty-related changes in adolescents or grief reactions to loss, break-up and divorce. It is important to get help for dealing with a crisis quickly. You do not need to sit alone in the dark. Seek out help! I am here and can collaborate with you.
If necessary, I can communicate with your physician or other helping agents in the treatment case.
I can provide teaching services in form of workshops, talks or courses, particularly about my research areas and also clinical and cognitive psychology.
