About me

  • I am a licensed clinical psychologist, licensed psychotherapist, and specialist in clinical psychology. I currently serve as the psychological manager at the Trauma Program at Psykiatri Sydväst, where we are developing a regional center of excellence for PTSD. In parallel, I conduct clinical research on PTSD and trauma-focused interventions at Karolinska Institutet.

Research

  • My research focuses on trauma and PTSD, with a particular interest in early interventions after potentially traumatic events and innovative approaches to effectively treat PTSD and complex PTSD. I am currently leading several randomized controlled trials evaluating intensive exposure-based trauma-focused CBT (Prolonged Exposure) and digital interventions for PTSD — including treatments for adults, children, and individuals with a migrant background.

Teaching

  • I teach across various programs and educational levels, primarily focusing on prolonged exposure therapy, PTSD, and psychological trauma.
