Personal profile
Research interests
As a psychotherapist and senior researcher, my work focuses on improving and innovating psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders, particularly in complex or treatment-resistant cases. My research aims to deepen understanding of the mechanisms underlying chronicity, poor insight, and treatment response. A major line of investigation involves the development and clinical evaluation of the Inference Based Approach (IBA) as an alternative or complement to traditional CBT.
I aim to bridge clinical reality and scientific insight to advance psychotherapeutic innovation.
