My Credentials

Expat therapist with her multi-cultural family living abroad serving English speakers worldwide

I have a masters degree in Psychology and Education from Columbia University’s Teachers College. I have studied at the Gottman Institute Levels 1-3 and their “Treating Affairs and Trauma” course. 

I am a certified master life coach and have ACC credentials from the International Coaching Federation. 

I have completed Level 1 & 2 of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals  (EFIT). 

I am focused on meeting my clients where they are and using the tools that will help them evolve and dig deeper to find their peace. 

My work is relational. I am in the mud with you. I am not a neutral observer. I will use my life experiences and my stories to frame and hold you. 

Being me is part of it. I am not holding back who I am. I do not pretend to be a blank slate. I lean into my empathy, love, shared humanity and shared experience.

I am a global therapist serving expats living abroad around the world. I am distinctly qualified to guide you in this journey because I have lived most of my adult life as an expat. 

My cross-cultural relationship has taught me to understand what it takes to compromise and work with a partner who is from a different world. Raising kids in a foreign land has taught me flexibility and how to trust my gut instinct. 

I bring my whole self to you as a therapist, coach, counselor and consultant. I hold a very safe space where vulnerability is revered and old stories are untangled.

Are you interested in working on your personal development? Are you looking for a life coach or a life consultant? Are you feeling stagnant? Do you want to jumpstart change?

 My transformational approach is a process where awareness, alignment, and action work together as catalysts to create momentum for change. 

*Awareness is knowing what you genuinely want and need.

*Alignment is the symmetry between our values and our actions. It means our inner and outer worlds match.

*Action is when you are conscious that what you say, do and think are in harmony with your values.

Together we build an understanding of what you want to accomplish, and delve deeply into building awareness around any thoughts and assumptions that you may already have. To truly transform your life, I will empower you to rethink what’s possible for you.
