As a positive psychologist I am interested in finding ways to foster mental health and flourishing. This includes evaluating diverse mental health prevention and intervention strategies, especially mind-body therapies. In addition, I explore the working mechanisms of meditation and yoga and questions of person-technique fit, as it is vital to understand how these treatments work and what works best for whom.

We are currently facing a mental health crisis with numbers of affected people rising dramatically. In times of external imbalance and uncertainty, finding internal balance and support becomes vitally important. Meditation provides a great means for many people to find this inner balance, reconnect to themselves and take care of their bodily and mental needs. These skills are incredibly valuable to develop and sustain mental health in the long-term.
