your extraordinary love life starts here
Me too…
Much to the delight of my family, I fell for a wealthy businessman and the promise of a luxury lifestyle, but I had no voice. For him, I was just decoration to be seen and not heard. He constantly criticised how I looked and even threatened me to never put on any weight.
Next, I fell for a passionate Latino man. At first, his obsession for me was intoxicating, but he soon turned jealous and abusive. I knew I had to leave when, after an unprovoked jealous rage, he left me stranded to fend for myself in a dangerous location abroad.
I then met a romantic man who seemed to have everything I desired in a partner. We had a deep emotional connection, shared interests, and a sizzling chemistry. But after one broken promise too many, I realised his sweet talk of a life together was just a dream that would never materialise.
I thought these men were perfect for me. Instead, these relationships were trauma bonds, mirrors of my childhood scars.
My father never recovered from the wounds he suffered during World War II. Neither did my mum. The atmosphere at home was heavy and, as a young child, I felt it wasn’t safe to have fun, to be loud, and to be playful. I wasn’t seen, heard or acknowledged for who I am.
Inside me was a young, adventurous woman, hungry for life, love and adoration. In every relationship, I was looking for adventure, fun, true love and deep connection…
But my old wounds attracted what was all too familiar. Each relationship was a reenactment of what I had experienced as a child. Coldness. Rejection. Isolation. Neglect.
One day, as I was randomly scrolling online, I came across the work of Esther Perel and my eyes were opened to what is possible. She helped me connect the dots of how our past affects our romantic relationships and the steps to take to turn your love life around.
It was the start of my healing journey.
It was also the start of my career as a relationship therapist.
At the time I wondered, “If I had had the opportunity to work with a therapist like Esther Perel, could I have turned those relationships around?”
Now I’m free and thriving, I made it my mission to be that therapist and provide that precious opportunity to other couples who are craving an extraordinary relationship.
It doesn’t matter what your relationship looks like right now or what happened to you in the past.
I’ve taken couples on the brink of separation to new levels of passion, intimacy and connection.
And I know this is possible for you too!
I make relationship therapy fun – even through the tears.
We explore your past, including your cultural and family lineage, to understand the root cause of your current relationship problems. We don’t dwell on the past, but use it to unearth your true desires and express them clearly.
We heal trauma together. Doing this work with your partner is much more powerful than doing it on your own. Vulnerability creates a new level of connection that speeds up transformation.
We dive into the erotic to reignite the spark and bring back passion and joy into a faded relationship.
We transform the limiting beliefs and behaviours that have characterised your relationship up until now with empowering, loving habits that unleash new levels of intimacy and connection.
We do the deep work with playfulness, turning the pain, or even tears, into laughter and light-heartedness.
I have a Masters Degree in Psychology.
I come from an Austrian heritage and my work is heavily influenced by the psychodynamic approach of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.
I have been trained by the world’s most renowned relationship therapists, including Esther Perel and Terry Real.
In my work, I use Terry Real’s RLT (Relational Life Therapy) and Multigenerational Trauma Healing, Esther Perel’s Transformative Approach to Couples Therapy, elements of inner parts, inner child work, psychoanalysis, and psychodrama.
My speciality is Dream and Fantasy Analysis as part of my couples work – it’s what makes me different from other relationship therapists.
I also hold a MBA (Master of Business Administration).
