About

Paragraph 1: I am a psychologist with a Master’s degree and a cognitive specialization, currently working in the pediatric psychosomatic department in Munich. For the past three years I have been helping children and families navigate stress, illness, and emotional challenges, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to support developmental and well-being goals.

Paragraph 2: Alongside my clinical work, I’m an aspiring screenwriter and fiction writer. I’m drawn to psychologically grounded storytelling, character-driven plots, and emotionally realistic dialogue. I’m developing a long-form psychological novel while expanding into screenwriting, focusing on contained drama and emotional tension that translates clinical insight into human-scale storytelling.

One Euro is a psychological chamber drama set almost entirely inside a public restroom at an abandoned train station.

A young university student becomes trapped inside a restroom stall after refusing to pay a one-euro fee to the elderly restroom attendant outside. What begins as a minor conflict slowly escalates into a tense psychological struggle about control, shame, emotional collapse, and two very different ways of holding reality together.

The project is built around minimalism, emotional realism, and slow-burning tension, with a strong focus on atmosphere, dialogue, and character psychology.
