“We love each other, but something is missing…” Does this thought feel familiar? Perhaps you sense that the ease and closeness that once defined your relationship have been buried under the weight of everyday life. Conversations seem to go in circles, tenderness has faded, and silence or arguments have taken its place. It can feel like you’ve lost sight of one another—yet the question lingers: Can we find our way back to each other?

Recognizing this moment is already a significant first step: you’re acknowledging that you want to actively work on your relationship. This is where couples therapy can help. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we sometimes lose the very things that keep us connected as a couple: genuine closeness, shared laughter, mutual understanding, attentive listening, and the ability to treat one another with respect even in difficult times.

As an experienced couples and sex therapist, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you and your partner can reconnect. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your conflicts, the patterns that may be influencing your relationship, and new paths you can take to rekindle your bond and move forward together.

When Is Couples Therapy Helpful?

• Frequent Conflicts: Repeated arguments about the same issues.
• Feeling of Disconnection: Living past each other or feeling emotionally out of reach.
• Breach of Trust: When trust has been shaken by an affair or other emotional wounds.
• Sexual Dissatisfaction: A decline in intimacy and desire.
• Life Transitions: Adjusting to challenges such as the birth of a child, relocation, or illness.

If any of these situations sound familiar, couples therapy can help you move away from the same frustrating patterns and toward a more intentional, constructive path.

What Can You Expect From Couples Therapy?

Every couples therapy session is as unique as the individuals involved. However, what you will always find in my practice is:

Empathy and Respect: Your concerns, fears, and hopes are embraced here, just as you are.

Practical Tools: Together, we not only address past challenges but also create actionable solutions that you can implement in daily life. I often suggest exercises or tasks to help you practice these new skills at home.

Openness to All Topics: Whether the focus is on communication, intimacy, or other relationship matters, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore even sensitive issues.

As a sex therapist, I bring a particular sensitivity to the intimate nuances and dynamics within relationships. Often, it’s the unspoken desires or fears that influence the underlying connection. This is where my work begins—gentle yet direct.

How to Find the Right Couples Therapist

Choosing the right couples therapist is crucial for the success of your therapy.

When searching, look for a therapist with a solid educational foundation, such as a degree in a psychosocial field (e.g., psychology, social work, social pedagogy, or education). Beyond that, they should have completed specialized training in a recognized therapeutic method—like systemic therapy—as well as further education focused on working with multiple people in a session.

Another key quality indicator is membership and certification from a reputable professional association, such as the German Association for Systemic Therapy, Counseling and Family Therapy (DGSF) or the Systemic Society (SG). These organizations maintain high training and practice standards, and their members adhere to established ethical guidelines.

Why Is Systemic Therapy Ideal for Couples Therapy?

Systemic therapy is particularly well-suited to couples therapy because it views the relationship as a dynamic whole. While many other therapeutic approaches focus primarily on the individual, systemic therapy considers the entire system in which partners interact. A couple is already a system—shaped by mutual expectations, communication patterns, emotional entanglements, and external influences such as family, work, or social circles.

What sets systemic therapy apart is its resource-oriented approach: it helps you identify your strengths as a couple and break the patterns that lead to conflict. By looking not only at individual perspectives but also at the interactions and dynamics between you, it fosters a deeper understanding of your relationship as a whole. This makes systemic therapy an ideal method for creating lasting change—both for you as individuals and for your partnership.

What Sets Me Apart

Finding the right couples therapist is a deeply personal process.
It’s about connecting with someone you trust, someone who helps you feel understood and supported. My clients frequently highlight my ability to approach each relationship’s unique dynamics with great sensitivity. I blend proven therapeutic techniques with a holistic approach that places your individual needs at the center.

I also place a high value on creating a comfortable, welcoming environment—whether in the beautiful, serene surroundings of the Weiße Villa practice or in a convenient online setting. You can expect a warm and respectful atmosphere, time dedicated to your concerns, and compassionate, equal-ground support.

If you’re feeling a bit clearer, or even a bit unsure, that’s perfectly okay. Couples therapy is not always an easy decision, but it can be a profoundly rewarding one. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out and connect. In an initial consultation, we can explore whether my approach feels right for you.

Take this step—for yourself, for your relationship, and for the chance to truly reconnect. Together, we’ll work toward growing and strengthening your bond. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
