About Me

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS IS WRONG?

I used to be a hopeless romantic. From a very young age I would devour romance novels, watch every single romantic comedy that came out. I always believed in the power of love and it was the focus of my creative writing. Is it any wonder I moved from my hometown in Germany to pursue a career in Hollywood? Being a young girl and writer navigating the dating scene in LA, I wrote a screenplay about my experiences which was optioned by a production company and laid the foundation for my dating advice column in the Santa Monica Daily Press. The irony of it was that my personal dating life was nothing but disappointment and drama. Needless to say, I felt like an imposter. Who was I to give dating advice? 

However, the occasional emails from readers who reached out to thank me for my articles made me realize that this work was important, because no matter our age, gender, background, how educated or successful we are or where we come from, LOVE is a human universal. 

The more I would receive these messages, the more I felt the need to help these people – but giving advice based on pop psychology and personal anecdotes was not the way.  Most importantly, I needed to walk the talk.
