About Myself

I was born and raised in Germany and educated exclusively in European countries. I hold a Ph.D. in German and English literature from Heidelberg University and a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich. While living in England, I taught German language and literature at Reading University and worked for BBC London as a language consultant. Later, as a student in Switzerland, I supported myself by translating Jane Roberts' books Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality and Jung’s English correspondence and lectures for the German Collected Works edition into German. I pioneered dream groups and dream workshops in Switzerland and Austria in the seventies—a time when they were still a novelty. After moving to California in 1983, I worked part-time at the Mental Health Clinic in Mariposa, California, while training future mental health professionals at the California School for Professional Psychology in Fresno in dream analysis.

Since 1987, I have been in private practice in Santa Fe, where I am licensed as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Although my interest in past life dreams and the concomitant self-exploration goes back to 1976, it has been part of my clinical practice only for the last fifteen years. In the course of this time, I have been able to develop my own unique method of working with past life dreams and of integrating past life material in such a way that it enriches and empowers, while keeping the person balanced and grounded. I am a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, of the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists of the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich, and a diplomate of the American Psychotherapy Association.
