At the age of twelve, I owned a plush Sigmund Freud figure – my first great fascination with psychology. Today I wouldn't endorse all of his approaches, but my curiosity about human experience, its depths, and its potential for development has remained.
In 2018, I began my studies in psychology and graduated with honors – supported by my family and friends, who accompanied me through intensive learning phases, self-doubt, and personal growth. However, I soon realized that pure theory wasn't enough for me. I've always been interested in the lived experience of consciousness – in its depth, vulnerability, and capacity for change.

Alongside my studies, I deepened my practice in yoga, meditation, and somatic self-awareness. For many years, I reflected on altered states of consciousness – both personally and scientifically. I began attending conferences on psychoactive substances and consciousness research, established interdisciplinary contacts, and developed a particular interest in the intersection of psychology, trauma, and neuroaesthetics.

For two years I worked in youth services in Berlin, supporting young people with complex trauma histories, experiences of sexual violence, and substance abuse. Commissioned by the Senate, I oversaw emergency placements and learned more about relationship building, regulation, and the structural limitations of support systems than I ever could in a seminar room. This experience continues to shape my professional approach today.

Driven by the desire to combine science, student engagement, and international networking, I founded the Psychedelic Student Network Germany (PSNG) – the first nationwide network for students interested in psychedelic research. Its aim is to promote scientifically grounded exchange, connect university groups, and strengthen a responsible, evidence-based approach to consciousness research in Germany and Europe.
With Inner Echoes, I have also created an interdisciplinary event format that connects science, art, and lived experience. In dialogical settings, spaces are created in which research, aesthetics, and subjective experience are not separated, but understood as spaces of resonance – as an echo between the inner and outer worlds.

Today, I combine clinical psychology, consciousness research, trauma work, and neuroaesthetics in an integrative approach that equally considers body, mind, and subjective experience. I am interested not only in how symptoms can be reduced, but also in how people learn to understand, regulate, and develop themselves in their entirety.
Perhaps it all started with a plush toy.
What remains is the conviction that consciousness is relationship – to ourselves, to others, and to the world.
