About me

After graduating from the psychology program at the Umeå university 2008, I worked as a clinical psychologist at a child and adolescent psychiatric clinic (BUP) in Region Västmanland. I received my clinical accreditation in 2009. In 2010 I moved to Stockholm to work as a clinical psychologist at BUMM (Barn- och ungdomsmedicinsk mottagning), Astrid Lindgren children’s hospital, Karolinska hospital.  In parallel, I worked at a private clinic and later started my own practice. In 2016 I began my employment at the Centre for Psychiatry Research (CPF) at Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm City Council, to develop a clinical specialist educational programme for psychologists in BUP. In 2018 I enrolled as a PhD-student in parallel to working as a course coordinator and clinical teacher at CPF, which has been my occupation since then.
