Psychologist/therapist
I have trained as a clinical psychologist in Denmark (University of Copenhagen, Denmark 2005), Couple and Family therapist in Canada (University of Guelph, Ontario 2007), Dialectical Behavior Therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (R). I have worked as a therapist/psychologist in Denmark and Canada for 15 years. My work has primarily been with those experiencing relational difficulties and complex traumas. I am authorized as a psychologist in Denmark (Danish Board of Psychologists) and as a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (USA and Canada). Meditation teaching/dharma support I was first introduced to buddhist meditation as a young child by a close family member. I came to the Theravada Buddhist tradition in 2009 and have practiced primarily in the Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw tradition as well as in the absorption practices taught by Ven. Pa Auk Sayadaw. My practice has included extended periods of silent retreat which continues to be an important part of my journey. I was invited to train as an insight meditation teacher in 2020. In 2024 I completed a four year dhamma teacher training process under the guidance of Marcia Rose, Guy Armstrong and Sally Armstrong. This in-depth training allows me to teach residential retreats at various insight meditation centers in North America. |
