Research
My research focus on development, implementation and evaluation of scalable psychological treatments for patients with common mental disorders and long-term pain conditions that mainly affect women. My primary area of interest pertains to the psychological treatment of patients with e.g., fibromyalgia and vulvodynia, as well as the development and implementation of CBT in a blended format, i.e., integrating face-to-face sessions with therapist-guided online treatment.
Teaching
Most of my teaching is within clinical psychology, more specifically common mental disorders and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also engaged in teaching that revolves around my clinical expertise and research within fibromyalgia. An important part of my pedagogical work is supervision, both of PhD students as well as clinical supervision of healthcare personnel within my ongoing research projects.
