About me
I am a psychologist and accredited cognitive behavioral therapist based in Hamburg. My work centres on questions about body perception, the psychological effects of social media, and how people can develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies.
Before opening my private practice, I spent several years working in specialised inpatient eating disorder wards in and around Hamburg. My doctoral research at the University of Osnabrück examined body image interventions in eating disorder patients, with a focus on mirror confrontation and exposure-based techniques.
Alongside clinical work, I advise media and companies on body image topics, give talks and professional training seminars, and in 2024 published my first book: Unfiltered — Social Media and Our Body Image.
