About me

  • I'm an associate professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience as well
    as a clinical psychologist at BUP FoU Centrum. My research concerns youth
    with anxiety disorders and conduct problems.
    I studied psychology at Stockholm University 2000-2005 and have since my
    graduation been active as a clinical psychologist within the Child and
    Adolescent Mental Health Services in Stockholm, as well as within the primary
    care. During 2010-2014 I did my PhD at the Department of Clinical
    Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, about parent training interventions
    for children with conduct problems. Since 2014 I´ve been doing my postdoc
    in Eva Serlachius' research group at the Centre for Psychiatry Research (CPF)
    at the Karolinska Institute.

Research

  • The research I am involved in focus on anxious children, treatment of
    anxiety disorders as well as implementation and dissemination of
    evidence-based treatments. I am also doing research about treatments for
    children with conduct problems.

Teaching

  • I am primarily teaching at the psychology program (Karolinska Institute), at
    specialist courses for psychologists and child psychiatrists, as well as at
    the speech therapist program and medical school (Karolinska Institutet).
