I am a licensed clinical psychologist, licensed child psychotherapist (Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare), and specialist in clinical child- and adolescent psychology, with a PhD in developmental psychology. My research mainly regards contextual risk factors among mothers with mild intellectual disability or ADHD, in relation to various caregiving-related capacities (e.g., parental mentalizing, interpretation of children's emotional signals), and their children's socioemotional development (e.g., attachment). I also teach attachment theory, mentalization theory, and developmental psychopathology on various courses on the clinical psychology/psychotherapy programs, as well as on the master program in psychology.

Beyond the field of attachment theory and research, I also have a strong interest in developmental psychology more generally. My main interests concern the developmental roots of intersubjectivity and social learning, as well as developmentally informed clinical interventions for children and their families. I am also engaged in questions relating to child welfare, and applications of developmental theory in a wider societal context.
