Research interests

As a PhD student and clinical psychologist in training, my main research focus is on mental health and stress in children, adolescents, and young adults with post-COVID-19 condition. My aim is to gain deeper insights into perceived stress, post-traumatic stress, psychological distress, and autonomic dysfunction in individuals experiencing post-viral psychological and neurocognitive symptoms. These findings will be gathered through the "LongCOVID-Fighters" project, a treatment program for adolescents and young adults with post-COVID-19 condition. The program combines clinical-psychological treatment, biofeedback, cognitive training, self-management training, and mindfulness/yoga exercises.
