You thought you'd adjust after a few months. You don’t feel like you belong, and you don’t know if this place will ever stop feeling so foreign.

Even in a room full of people, you may feel profoundly alone. The connections you have made feel surface-level, and you miss being truly known.

You miss home terribly, including family, friends and community. But the sadness you feel is deeper than being homesick.

You moved abroad for your partner's work or for love. In the process you may have lost your own career, or parts of your identity too. You may feel resentful, anxious and not sure how to deal with it all.

Even if you moved with the blessing of family and friends, you may feel guilty and “selfish” for living far away. This guilt can be strong when people you love are struggling.

You have moved back home and you are grieving your expat life. Even though you may be “home” you feel like a foreigner again, and it is disorienting.

Since moving your relationship has become strained. Living abroad is creating conflict, and you are worried about what is happening with you and your partner or spouse.

At home you had a life that made more sense and people who knew you. Here, you feel like you're starting from zero and questioning who you are and what your purpose is.

You feel like you should be grateful. Instead, you're anxious and miserable and don't know what to do.

I believe healing happens in safe relationship, and I show up with real warmth and empathy. I've had done extensive therapy and deep inner work myself, and know what it's like to sit where you are. That lived experience, professional training and seeing positive results from over 8 years of work with clients shapes how I work.

I'm a registered psychotherapist with specialist training in Internal Family Systems therapy and postgraduate degrees in psychology and counselling. When you work with someone who knows how to integrate IFS and other evidence-based approaches with care, patterns that felt stuck for years start to make sense.

I am collaborative and we work as a team. Your goals are my priority, and I see you as the expert in your own life. I will work to learn about you, and adapt my approach to what you need. This flexibility means therapy fits you, not the other way around.

I'm a proud psychology and neuroscience nerd. I love learning about how the mind works, about neuroscience, what genuinely helps people heal, and why we are the way we are. I read research, attend training, and stay curious to continually provide the best possible care to all my clients.

I take my responsibility in therapy seriously, and I expect you to take yours seriously too. I'm here to walk alongside you, to help you see what you can't see on your own, and to believe in your capacity for change even when you don't. This partnership approach empowers you to create lasting change yourself.

I love what I do, and working with people who want to change and grow is a privilege. My commitment to you is to be as clear as possible, and to be present and grounded. I am authentic and care deeply about supporting you in the way that works best for you.

Counselling can’t make problems disappear, but it can help you process homesickness, soothe grief, guilt, and work through uncertainty, relationship strain, and career challenges.

Therapy helps to reconnect with what matters most, no matter where life’s has taken you. From there, a new identity can be created that aligns with this new life abroad.

Moving abroad can strain relationships, particularly where one or both of you are far from home. Therapy can help work through this strain to develop greater connection and clearer communication.
