Why Couples Seek Therapy

Most couples who come to therapy have already tried talking things through, but keep hitting the same roadblocks. Emotions take over, the same issues resurface, and they feel stuck.

Therapy aims to uncover the disconnect, help each partner understand the other’s perspective, and find a way forward together.

Is Couples Therapy Only for Serious Problems?

If there is a topic that is bothering you or causing discomfort in your relationship, it’s worth discussing and working through.

Many couples come simply to strengthen an already healthy relationship and keep it that way.

How I Work

I’m not taking sides. Both partners need to feel heard. I create space for each voice and perspective to be understood.

I’m not focusing on deficits. We’re not here to catalogue what’s wrong. We’re focusing on what can change and how things can get better.

I believe there is a way forward. Therapy can help couples reconnect and strengthen their relationship, or separate with greater understanding and care.

My Background

I was born in the United States and have been living in Austria since 2009. I bring both an international academic background, with a Master’s degrees in Psychology from the US and Austria, and many years of experience across cultures.

As someone with personal experience of international relationships and parenting, I have experienced differences in language, culture, and expectations that can shape a relationship.

I work in English, however I speak German at a C1 level, so if your partner says Oida, no need to explain.

Next Steps

Contact me to arrange a free 25-minute introductory call. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk briefly about what brings you to therapy, and get a feel for how we'd work together.

If you’d like to continue, we’ll then arrange a 90-minute, face-to-face couples therapy session at my office.

Individual Therapy

If you’re looking for support just for yourself, I also offer individual therapy.

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost €80.
