I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Comparative Literature from the University of Copenhagen and a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. My professional training includes work at Northwestern University, The University of Chicago, VA hospitals, and Yale University.

I have conducted comprehensive diagnostic evaluations across a range of clinical settings, with advanced training at Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and Yale University.
