Perhaps this is the first time you’ve been away from your passport country, or this is the tenth time you’ve had to start all over again. Either way, there is always so much to do, so much to learn, and you might be feeling very isolated and lonely trying to manage it all. Making new friends and developing new routines, while also working on maintaining relationships in your home country can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve started a new job overseas, and dealing with the cultural and language differences is more than you bargained for. Or you followed your partner on a new, international adventure and are now feeling at a loss on how to find meaning for yourself without your old connections and career. I’ve had many of these experiences myself, and I know how important it can be to find time to take care of yourself as you are processing all of these new impressions. If you think speaking to an experienced therapist could help, I am here for you.

Parenting is challenging at the best of times, but when you are far away from your support network and home country, every one of those challenges can feel even more diffcult to manage. Maybe you have a child who is neurodiverse, is struggling with school, or finding it hard to adapt to the international move. Perhaps you are watching as your child grows more isolated, has trouble with friendships, or is getting bullied. Your child might be questioning their gender or sexuality. You want to help them through these hard times, be as supportive as possible. But sometimes, it's not that simple, as every parent is, above all, a human being with their own history, hopes, and fears. It can be helpful to take time to look at your reactions, to recognize that your journey as a parent is exactly that - a path that you create as you walk it. I want to offer you a safe space in which to look at that journey, to process your emotions and to grow both as a parent and as a person.

As a teenager and young adult you are undergoing many changes and experiences that will shape the rest of your life. Many of those are exhilarating and exciting. However, for many, this is also the hardest of life’s phases. Physical, hormonal, emotional changes can feel like they’re propelling you from one moment to the next, leaving no space to process your emotions or make sense of what just occurred. If you are also a Third Culture Kid, you might be feeling alientated, out of sync, misunderstood, and unsure of your identity. Pressure from parents, friends, and highly demanding schools can make it difficult to figure out what you actually want and need. You might be feeling confused, overwhelmed, angry or sad. Maybe you just need someone to talk to about how you feel, without judgement and expectations. A safe space to experiment with your thoughts and feelings, to allow you to move forward, take healthy risks and grow into the person you want to be. I am here to help.

For many, time at university is both the most exciting and the most stressful time of life.  There are so many pressures from school, parents, and even friends, while you’re trying to figure out what you want and need. If you’re also living far from home, in a foreign country, all those feelings and experiences are likely to be even more intense. Meeting deadlines, exploring new friendships and interests, while also living independently are a lot of issues to deal with at once. Perhaps you’re feeling lonely, unmotivated, and stressed about the new situations and feelings you are being confronted with. If you feel you need someone to talk to about your struggles and offload some of that stress, I am here to help you.
