Researcher and Lecturer, The National Centre for Knowledge on Men's Violence against Women (NCK) Department of Women's and Children's Health, Uppsala University.

Course leader for the course Men's violence against women and violence in close relationships with a focus on special vulnerability, 15 credits (advanced level).

Involved in projects on post separation abuse, psychological support for abused women and involved in a project on chronic pain and abuse and the EU-project on IPV, VIPROM.

My PhD project involved the planning, development, and evaluation of internet-mediated stepped care with psychosocial support and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The project aimed to study the effects of the self-help program on anxiety and depression symptoms as well as health-related quality of life in patients with trauma resulting from somatic illness. After the dissertation, psychotherapy studies, and clinical work with women who have been subjected to intimate partner violence and/or sexual abuse, the research focus has shifted to clinically relevant factors related to trauma resulting from intimate partner violence and post-separation abuse.
