About me

  • I graduated from the psychology program at Örebro University in 2010, and
    did my clinical training for accreditation in both a primary and a
    psychiatric care unit, and received accreditation in 2011.
    2014 I started my PhD training in a research project focusing on effects,
    moderators and mediators in cognitive therapy and behaviour therapy for
    insomnia. I defended and received my doctoral degree in 2021.
    All along my Phd training I have continued to work clinically. In the final
    year of my PhD training and before transitioning to Centre for Psychiatry
    Research at Karolinska Institutet, I worked as a lecturer at Örebro
    University, holding classes on abnormal psychology, CBT, and prevention for
    adolecents.
    I am currently working as a researcher and lecturer with a
    main responsibility for the course "Basic Training in Evidence-Based
    Psychotherapeutic Method

Research

    1. Examining and identifying effects, moderators or mediators of the
    therapies and components in CBT for insomnia.
    2. Examining the effect of cognitive behavior therapy delivered through a
    smartphone application.
