My interest in child and adolescent psychiatry dates back to my university years. In 2005 I started to do students’ association research work at the Vadaskert Children Psychiatric Hospital and Outpatient Clinic, and from 2006 I also worked there as a nursing assistant, child care attendant. I graduated in medicine in 2007, I completed the VIKOTE (Hungarian Association for Behavioral Studies and Cognitive Therapy) preparatory course for psychotherapist exam in 2011. In 2012, I became a child and adolescent psychiatric specialist and in 2014 I began my PhD studies.
For several years I performed consultative work in the fields of child protection (children’s homes, PM-TEGYESZ Expert Committee) and education (Education Counselling Service, TKVSZRB).
I started my adult psychiatric studies in 2020, because I realized that my main area of interest – diagnostic and therapeutic work with adolescents – needed to be supplemented, as in the challenges of modern world it is definitely important to work with young adults living in the parental home for a long time, and with their families in a comprehensive child psychiatric-psychiatric approach. That is why I am currently working full-time at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of Semmelweis University.
Complementing my daily diagnostic and therapeutic work, from the beginning I have been participating in several researches and I am happy to take on teaching too. I also deal with individual psychotherapeutic guidance of adolescents and young adults under supervision. For the first occasion, I welcome young people under the age of 18 and their caregivers living in the same household, and if there is a need, I also talk to each family member separately during the interview.
