About me
I am currently working on my PhD thesis, as part of the “ARPID” research initiative, which deals with
the regulation of emotions in chronic pain over the life span. At the same time, I'm a licensed psychotherapist with a focus on behavioral therapy at the WiPP in Landau.
Research interest
Emotion regulation and coping strategies in chronic pain patients over the lifespan.
Transdiagnostic approaches to depression and chronic pain.
Cognitive biases in chronic pain patients related to emotion regulation.
