Biography

Since January 2023, I have been a collaborative member of the Journal of Psychology and Neuroscience, contributing to three publications as of December 2024. In my role as a Clinical Psychologist at CuraMed Akutklinik Allgäu, I am responsible for providing psychotherapy to an average of ten patients, conducting individual sessions twice a week and two group sessions weekly, while also handling documentation and preparing final reports. Additionally, I initiated the "men's group," a weekly session focused on addressing the psychological needs of men and challenging the stigma surrounding men's mental health. I also organize and host a monthly workshop for nurses at the clinic. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to deliver a 30-minute presentation titled "The Science of Accepting Yourself: Applying Positive Psychology and Performance Psychology in a Clinical Setting" to an international audience at the Scholars Conference in Barcelona in March 2024.
