About me

I am a Licenced Medical Social Worker (EN) and trainer in Motivational
Interviewing (MINT). Most of my professional life I have worked in various
types of treatment and care of people with alcohol and other substance use
disorders. Currently I am also working on the newly started eSupport unit at
Stockholm Center for Dependency disorders.

Research

My research work is mainly focused on examining the effects of different
types of digital interventions on alcohol and substance use.
