  • You live abroad but struggle to find your footing & feel the expat blues

  • You’ve lost your bearings, your network, your sense of status — and you feel alone.

  • You find it hard to feel at home, here or anywhere else.

  • You feel misunderstood by the loved ones who stayed behind.

then you're in the right place !

 That's me, back in 2017. 

I left at 27 for what was only supposed to be a six-month trip...which turned into seven years of trying on different lives across New Zealand, Norway, & Canada. It was a constant cycle of the thrill of leaving, the adrenaline of arriving, the sting of loss from afar, and that endless, restless urge to just keep going.

​

When I finally moved home in 2024, the "reverse culture shock" hit me hard. I felt completely lost & like a stranger in my own life. I was in the middle of my psychotherapy training at the time, so I decided to turn that struggle into my thesis. I really needed to figure out why coming home felt so impossibly hard.

​

What I found—both in my research and my own life—is that this disconnection isn't a dead end. It’s actually a deep, intense stage of personal transformation. I realized that when you lose your old reference points and no longer fit into your original world, you end up in this state of "inner exile"—and while it’s painful, it’s really just a necessary part of figuring out who you’ve become.

Our journey together

Today, drawing on both my expertise and lived experience, I help you transform uncertainty and inner exile into grounding and growth.

 

Through individual sessions or workshops, we navigate the emotional challenges of transition—grief, loneliness, anxiety—and co-create a life that feels truly yours, so you can feel at home wherever you are.​ Because I truly believe we never fully return “home”—we learn to create our own place in the world, aligned, meaningful, and rooted within ourselves.

Discovery Session

75 minutes to get to know each other & explore what brings you to me. This is a safe space to lay everything out. We’ll untangle the threads of your current situation, identify your deepest needs, and see if we are a good fit to walk this path together.

Follow up Sessions

60 minutes to dive into your transformation :

​

  • The "Deep Dive": We use therapy to understand your patterns, release emotional blockages, and find clarity.

​

  • The "Action Shift": We use coaching to break the brain loop, build concrete strategies, and move toward your goals.

Your inner Compass

Over the course of our sessions, you will gain the autonomy, tools, and confidence you need to move forward. You will build your own internal compass, until the day you no longer need our meetings and can navigate life’s transitions on your own. You can, of course, always book a 'tune-up' session whenever you feel the need

Coaching programs

If therapy feels intimidating, there might be a program that’s right for you. Unlike On-Demand Therapy, which is completely flexible and focused on your immediate needs, my coaching programs offer a steady, reassuring framework designed to keep you on track

& progressing over time.
