Rebuilding clarity, stability, and meaning while living across cultures.

​

Living internationally can be deeply enriching - but it can also quietly destabilize your sense of identity, belonging, and emotional grounding. Even people who are independent, capable, and adventurous can find themselves feeling unmoored over time.

​

Without familiar social structures, cultural reference points, and long-term continuity, it’s easy to feel:

​

• Disconnected or subtly lonely even when surrounded by people

• Chronically unsettled or “not quite at home” anywhere

• Less motivated, less energized, or emotionally flat

• Conflicted about where you belong, what you’re building toward, or what truly matters

• More sensitive to stress, uncertainty, and decision fatigue

​

Many internationally mobile people are surprised to discover that unresolved emotional patterns, nervous system stress, or identity questions often intensify rather than disappear when changing countries. Mobility can create freedom - but it can also amplify what hasn’t yet been integrated internally.

​

If you’ve noticed a sense of drifting, emotional depletion, loss of joy, or difficulty building meaningful community, you’re not alone - and it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.

​

It often means your system is asking for deeper stability, coherence, and self-connection.

​

Common themes I work with

​

Clients who seek this work often resonate with experiences such as:

​

• Difficulty forming deep or lasting community in new environments

• Cultural value mismatches that create subtle alienation or frustration

• Feeling successful externally while internally unsettled or disconnected

• Identity shifts related to long-term mobility, belonging, or life direction

• Carrying stress, anxiety, or old emotional patterns across borders

• Navigating major life transitions without familiar support systems

• Balancing ambition, freedom, and emotional grounding

​

Many of my clients are thoughtful, globally minded individuals who value depth, growth, and intentional living - yet find that constant mobility creates unexpected emotional complexity.

​

What therapy can support

​

Our work together is oriented toward helping you:

​

• Rebuild a stable internal foundation that travels with you

• Regulate stress and nervous system load more effectively

• Clarify values, direction, and life priorities

• Strengthen emotional resilience and self-trust

• Integrate identity shifts that come with cross-cultural living

• Improve relationships and boundaries

• Cultivate a deeper sense of meaning, coherence, and agency

• Feel more at home within yourself - regardless of geography

​

This is not surface-level coping or symptom management. The goal is sustainable internal alignment that supports both freedom and groundedness.

​

My approach

​

I bring both professional and lived experience to this work. Having long been globally mobile myself, I understand the subtle psychological demands of building a life across cultures - including identity fluidity, cultural dissonance, long-distance attachment, and the emotional toll of repeated transitions.

​

Clinically, I integrate:

​

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy

• Somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches

• Attachment-based work

• Cognitive and behavioral strategies when helpful

​

Sessions are active, collaborative, and tailored to your goals. We work both with immediate challenges and deeper patterns, helping you create durable change rather than temporary relief.

​

I tend to work especially well with reflective, motivated clients who want meaningful growth - not just symptom reduction.

​

Practical details

​

Sessions are 50 minutes, one-on-one, conducted via secure telehealth - making therapy accessible regardless of where you are located.

​

We’ll periodically review progress and refine focus as your goals evolve and your life circumstances shift.
