About me

Since November 2024, I am a PhD student in Dr. Marialuisa Cavelti’s research group at the University Hospital of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. My special interest lies in applied psychotherapy research, specifically in improving therapeutic approaches to better meet the needs of children and adolescents in clinical care. The focus of my doctoral studies is on the MERIT project, which aims to enhance the effectiveness of psychotherapy for adolescent inpatients by regularly monitoring their mental health status and therapy progress. This feedback is provided to therapists to help tailor treatment to individual needs, facilitating the early identification of patients who may not respond as expected.
