I have a degree in psychology from the University of Bergen and have worked as a psychologist for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I have gained broad experience from the specialist health service, private practice, research and teaching. Since 2014, I have run a private practice in Larvik, where I offer customised treatment for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

My approach is rooted in effective methods, and I'm very keen for clients to receive help that leads to real improvement. My goal is always to offer treatment that has a positive and lasting effect on quality of life.

I work with a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders and relational difficulties. I also specialise in issues such as school refusal, where I can show good results.

In my practice, I use several therapeutic methods, such as emotion-focused therapy, cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, mental training and hypnosis. Mental training and hypnosis are effective tools that can be used for stress management, sleep difficulties, anxiety, phobias and lifestyle changes. You can also access mental training and hypnosis through audio files in the online store Sivenitywhere I offer resources to support you between therapy sessions.

In addition to individual treatment, I have experience of group therapy and working with relatives of people with substance abuse problems or serious illness. I also help families and couples with challenges such as communication, crisis management and relationship strengthening.

With me, you get safe and caring treatment that is customised to your needs. Together, we create a programme that helps you strengthen your assertiveness, emotional management and relational skills, so that you achieve a better everyday life and increased quality of life.

Welcome to a professional and personalised approach.
