About me
I'm a post-doc and licensed psychologist working in the Rücklab research group at Karolinska Institutet.
Research description
My research focuses on the psychological treatment of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, particularly internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT). Along with local projects in Sweden, several international implementations of ICBT for obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder are underway in the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, and Germany.
Other research interests include statistical methods, e.g. machine-learning techniques, cost-effectiveness analyses and psychometric evaluations of questionnaires.
Teaching portfolio
I teach at the undergraduate programmes for medical students, psychologists, and occupational therapists at the Karolinska Institutet. The topics include: an overview of psychotherapy, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and workshops in using clinical tools such as behavioral analyses.
I also do lectures for the Swedish OCD foundation (OCD-förbundet) on our research at the Karolinska Institutet and other recent developments in research. Other speaking engagements includes Utbildningsradion (UR).
