I am a clinical psychologist studying the nature of human well-being and ways to improve it. My current research focus is on dissociation and affect regulation. I am currently a visiting scholar at Stanford University’s Psychophysiology Lab, supported by a fellowship from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Additionally, I am a research fellow at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. I earned my Ph.D. in psychology from Freie Universität Berlin and am also a German board-certified cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist, having completed my training at the Zentrum für Psychotherapie der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

In my work, I am obsessed with quality, which drives my dedication to open science principles and collaboration whenever possible. However, I always prioritize people, including patients, study participants, and students, placing them above the science itself.
