Vita
After completing my studies at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen, I worked as a research associate and lecturer at the Chair of Clinical and Biological Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Mannheim. In my work, I was particularly interested in promoting patient participation in decision-making.
From 2022, I worked in the psychiatric-psychotherapeutic acute care of the Wetterau district as well as in several facilities in day clinic and outpatient psychotherapeutic care in Bad Nauheim and Frankfurt am Main.
