About
In my PhD work, I explore how traumatic experiences are portrayed in fiction, archives and psychoanalysis and how different texts can enrich our understanding of the impact of trauma on the individual and society. Supervisors for the project are professors Kjell Ivar Skjerdingstad at OsloMet and Siri Erika Gullestad at the University of Oslo.
I am a clinical psychologist specialising in clinical adult psychology and psychoanalysis. I have written about trauma and attachment theory related to my clinical practice as a psychologist in public mental health care and scientific articles in the interdisciplinary field between psychoanalysis and literature. I also write fiction and have published short stories for children and adults.
