About me

I am a clinical psychologist and postoctoral researcher at the Centre of Psychiatry Research.
My research interests and work mainly concern adolescents with nonsuicidal
self-injury (NSSI). Specifically, how to understand the etiology and develop
and evaluate treatment for adolescents with NSSI.
