About me

I have a Ph.D and am a licensed psychologist and psychotherapist, a specialist psychologist in psychotherapy and have worked with psychiatric patients since 2000. I am also a course coordinator at KI.

My research interest is in individuals with psychosis and I investigate if they might be helped by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also investigate if psychiatric inpatient staff can be trained in ACT-techniques. Further, I am interested in the cognitive- and facial affect recognition abilitites in individuals with psychosis.

Finally I am interested in the field of education.

I have been a course coordinator at the Psychotherapist Program since 2019. Besides these work chores, I have also taught different student categories such as Case Managers, Psychology students, Psychotherapist students as well as Medical Doctors mainly at Centre for Psychiatric Research on the subject of Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
Moreover I have led reflection groups, mentor conversations as well as CASE on the Psychotherapist education.
