About me
Hi! I am a final-year PhD student in psychology, researching stress and other work-related mental problems among adults with ADHD. I am a licensed psychologist with a master's degree in psychology from Stockholm University. Previously, I worked at a neuropsychiatric clinic in Stockholm, primarily conducting neurodevelopmental assessments for patients of all ages.
Beyond my studies, I have been actively involved in several non-profit organizations, including elected positions in the Swedish Association for Behavior Therapy. During my undergraduate studies, I served as both a board member and president of the Social Sciences Association at the university. During my master’s and PhD studies, I have also been an active member of the Stockholm University Student Union, holding elected positions in the Student Union Representative Assembly, the Social Sciences Faculty Council, and the PhD Student Council at the Department of Psychology.
I teach on the Psychologist program, our Swedish five-year clinical program for students intending to pursue careers as professional psychologists. My teaching focuses on interviewing and communication skills, which are taught through a series of classes and exercises during the first three years of the program. I lecture on dialogue as a psychological method and supervise video-feedback exercises.
My doctoral studies concern stress and other work-related mental illness among adults with ADHD. In short, we aim to explore the experiences of stress and other work-related mental illness among ADHD adults and evaluate an internet-based program designed to prevent these negative outcomes. The project is mainly funded through two grants from Region Stockholm, where I was a co-applicant. Our first paper from the project is available open access in BMC Psychiatry, here.
During my master’s, I got the opportunity to work on a research project concerning New Year’s resolutions. This resulted in the world’s largest study on New Year’s resolutions, as well as a book (in Swedish) on how to succeed with New Year’s resolutions, personal goals, and behavior change. The study is published open access here, in PLOS ONE.
