In 2014 she switched to Danish club TTH Holstebro. Here she played with her former teammates Linn Blohm and Nathalie Hagman. After two seasons in Denmark, her club was in economic trouble and could not extend her contract, and therefore she returned to her old club, IK Sävehof.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/a/OnmArk/klubblosoch-hemlos | title=Klubblös...och hemlös | date=14 August 2016 }}</ref>
