I am a clinical psychologist and mental health researcher specializing in dissociation and emotion regulation, and their physiological and behavioral correlates across severe mental disorders. I am currently psychological head of the psychiatric outpatient clinics at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. I also hold appointments as research associate at Central Institute for Mental Health in Mannheim and Stanford University. I earned my Ph.D. in psychology from Freie Universität Berlin and I am 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.
