Meet Eivind

My journey into the mental health field was shaped by both lived experience and a deep desire to support others through difficult seasons of life. Personal experiences gave me early insight into the challenges individuals and families can face when navigating adversity and life's unexpected obstacles. These experiences, combined with a natural inclination toward helping and caring for others, ultimately led me toward social work and mental health practice

Education & Experience

  • Master of Social Work (MSW), Arizona State University

  • Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)

I have close to five years of experience providing direct clinical services and supporting behavioral health programs within high-acuity and trauma-impacted settings, along with more than 10 years of experience in the social work field. I have also provided training and supervision support within outpatient behavioral health environments.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and depression
• Serious mental illness
• Emotional and behavioral challenges
• Family and relationship stressors
• Life transitions and adjustment concerns
• Stress related to work, school, and daily life demands
• Challenges impacting underserved and marginalized communities

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where clients can safely explore their experiences and move toward their goals. I strive to help individuals build resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and foster lasting growth as they navigate life's challenges.

My Areas of Focus

My work is especially rooted in:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informed approaches
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) informed approaches
• Resilience building and coping skill development
• Narrative and reflective trauma work
• Strength-based and solution-focused therapy
• Trauma informed care

I strive to create a calm, accepting, and reflective environment where clients feel genuinely supported while also being encouraged to challenge themselves, grow, and build resilience. My clinical background has reinforced the importance of meeting individuals with empathy, consistency, and practical support while helping them develop resilience and long-term coping strategies.
