In addition to practical training in the scientific approach since 2014, she also encourages the popularization of the psychological profession through expert reviews of current topics for the television companies RTL and HRT. In 2014, she was the originator and co-founder of the StresProtekt association, which provides psychological assessment and individual and group counseling, most often for acute stress reactions, anxiety disorders and disorders, adjustment disorders and depressive disorders.
