As a registeret nurse, I am trained to help you in many different ways, and in many different areas. With a Diploma of Psychiatry and a passion for the psychiatric field, I am the right person to help you with your mental health challenges. 

You are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem 

Too many of us are showing signs of the above, which can make our everyday life almost unbearable and leave us with a lack of motivation, lack of energy and no interest in life. It gets harder to sleep at night and get up in the morning, harder to go to work, be social, eat healthy and exercise. Harder to control our thoughts and they often cirkel around all the negative things. Brain fog becomes a daily thing, and the Netflix-binging becomes the most appealing activity. Unfortunately this is a downward spiral, and we wont feel better by doing nothing. All the mentioned things are factors that have influence on our mental wellbeing. How we sleep, eat, exercise, and think about ourselves, our going to work and being social are very important for our mental health. The good news is, that we can take controle over all these things, and turn it around. 

That's why, in my sessions with you, I will focus on all of you - not just your mental health. I believe that our whole body is connected, and we can't just look at one element at a time. If we for example show signs of depression, it can show as a physical symptom, and vise versa - if we are struggling with physical illness, it can influence our mental wellbeing. 

I would love to help you, guide you and coach you through this journey towards better quality of life - but YOU need to take the first step. 

Contact me today for a free 20min consultation about your unique situation and let's find out how I can help you. 

You are waiting for psychiatric help in the public health care system

Your child or teenager is waiting for help in the public health care system

Even when children or adolescents are struggling with mental health challenges such as suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or difficulty with emotional regulation, there is often a long wait in the public psychiatric system, despite the urgent need for immediate help.

For the child or young person, this can lead to school refusal, loneliness, feelings of inadequacy, or a sense of being wrong or different. They may become frustrated with themselves for not fitting in and create problems for the adults around them. As with adults, prompt assessment and treatment are crucial for the ongoing process.

The waiting period often has consequences for the entire family. A parent may need to stay home with the child or adolescent and therefore cannot maintain regular employment. Often, other siblings feel neglected or overlooked and try to make themselves invisible to avoid adding more problems for their parents. Meanwhile, the parents struggle to get through their daily routines while feeling inadequate to the whole family.

In these situations, I offer counseling both for the child or adolescent and for the parents, both together and individually. I also provide sessions for siblings of those with mental health challenges, helping them understand their sibling’s situation and providing guidance on how they can assert their own place in the family. Siblings should not be invisible; they also need to be heard and taken seriously.

You, your child, or your teenager have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder

You or your child or teenager have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder - now what? What does this diagnosis mean? Does it mean that your entire lifestyle and daily routine need to change? How do you maintain your normal daily life? How do you talk about this diagnosis with family and friends - should you even talk to them about it? Will it impose limitations? Is there anything you can do to alleviate the symptoms?  All these questions and many more are completely normal,  after a diagnosis has been given by the doctor - and I am here to help. I can assist you in understanding your diagnosis and in learning how to navigate the symptoms in the various contexts you encounter.

I can also help with any medication-related issues. If your doctor has prescribed a specific medication, I can help manage it, monitor for any side effects, and explain how the medication works and what to expect from it. As a nurse, I am not authorized to prescribe medication; that will be done by your psychiatrist.

You have lost a loved one

When we lose someone we love, we must learn to move forward in daily life while carrying the weight of loss and sorrow, which can feel overwhelming, unjust, and something we’d rather avoid. However, we owe it to ourselves not to simply pause our lives.

Many still adhere to the outdated grief theory that suggests there are 4-5 distinct stages of grief, and once these stages are completed - ideally in the right order - grief will be resolved. This is not how grief truly unfolds though, as recent theories confirm. We now understand that grief is dynamic, involving a continuous shift between feeling the pain and engaging with daily life. Some days may seem bearable, while others may feel endless. In the beginning, there may be more challenging days than good days, but learning to navigate and comprehend your own reactions to losing a loved one is important.

Grief varies for each person, but we see many common experiences and feelings. Often, it helps to know “you are not the only alone feeling this way” and “this is a normal response while grieving”. While you also need to know that there will come a day where the sorrow is not as heavy. 

I can support you in understanding your grief, managing daily life one step at a time, and making room for both the grief and the healing process. I can help you navigate your reactions and offer practical tools for dealing with your daily life while you grieve.  

You struggle figuring out the Danish Health Care System

The Danish healthcare system can be difficult to navigate; it can seem like a jungle and be very challenging to figure out who to contact and when. Is it the general practitioner, the hospital, 1813, the psychiatric emergency room, the municipality, the region, or where exactly can you get the help that we are told is accessible through the taxes we pay?

You might risk being bounced between different departments, if you don't have a clear idea of whom to talk to. In this situation, I would like to help you navigate the system and explain who you should contact in the different situations. 

When you contact me, please provide details about your situation, and remember to include which municipality (kommune) you live in, as this also affects what kind of help you can expect.

You name it
