I'm a Canadian psychologist. Since 2017 I have lived in France, England, Hungary, and the Netherlands, and I have spent extended periods in Portugal, Morocco, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, and Cyprus.
Living internationally can be deeply rewarding, and it can also feel lonely, destabilising, and emotionally exhausting. I work with expats, digital nomads, and other internationally mobile adults on trauma, grief, burnout, anxiety, and major life transitions.
In 2021, I experienced the sudden loss of my partner, which profoundly shaped both my personal life and my understanding of grief and trauma.
I hold an MA in Clinical and Health Psychology from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest, along with degrees in Psychology and Business Administration from Canada.
I offer trauma-informed online therapy for expats and digital nomads, shaped by both clinical training and lived experience abroad. Our work is practical, personalised, and focused on helping you feel more grounded in daily life.
Ongoing online sessions, tailored to you
Sessions are 50 minutes and €100. They are adapted to your needs and pace. We use evidence-based approaches to support emotional regulation, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and life transitions — always grounded in what feels most relevant to your current situation.
Living abroad can bring freedom, growth, and opportunity, but also loneliness, uncertainty, grief, and emotional exhaustion.
I specialise in supporting expats and digital nomads through trauma-informed online therapy focused on helping you feel more grounded, stable, and emotionally supported.
Areas I Can Help You With:
I lead practical mental health workshops for remote teams, internationally mobile organisations, and leadership groups. The work draws on clinical training and on having worked and lived across countries, including workshops delivered with the Red Cross.
Teams use these sessions to look at burnout, chronic stress, emotional regulation, and the strain of constant change. They are built for high-demand, cross-cultural environments.
Seeking help for anxiety and PTSD as a military veteran and expat was not an easy step, but working with Christina made a real difference.
She strikes a rare balance: compassionate and easy to talk to, while also being direct and focused on progress.
We used Cognitive Processing Therapy to help me navigate traumatic experiences and work through stuck points that were holding me back.
Therapy requires effort and honesty on your part. With Christina's guidance, my effort in therapy led to real and lasting progress. I’ve seen meaningful improvements in how I manage stress and process difficult situations.
I’m extremely grateful for the support and strongly recommend her services, thank you Christina !
I have met with a few therapists over the years, but nothing ever felt like it was actually helping me.
After moving abroad, new and old issues began popping up, so I started looking around. I was drawn to Christina for her specialty in trauma and her ability to understand expat challenges.
Before our sessions together, I carried a lot of guilt, stress, and anxiety; my childhood was spilling over into my personal relationships, work habits, self-care, and more.
Christina recommended CPT for me and was clear from the start that it would be hard but rewarding. As we worked through CPT together, I noticed many shifts; to list a few: greater compassion toward myself, less fear in public spaces, and the ability to not only name my emotions but also feel safe enough to experience them.
Every session, I felt like Christina truly heard what I was saying; she validated my experiences and always asked thoughtful questions or sought clarification when we spoke.
Our sessions together were life-altering for me, and I could not recommend her enough.
Before starting therapy with Christina, my mind and body were constantly in overdrive. I could never truly relax — even in moments that were supposed to feel peaceful. I was always bracing for something, even when nothing was wrong.
Through our work together, I began to understand what my nervous system was trying to tell me instead of fighting against it. Christina taught me how to listen to my body and use practical tools to bring myself back to safety.
Over time, that changed everything: my sleep, my relationships, my work, how I parent, and how I respond to stress. The constant background anxiety started to fade. I began to feel grounded — not in a “perfectly calm” way, but in a steady, human way.
Working with Christina has helped me reconnect with myself in a way I didn’t think was possible. I finally feel like I’m living, not just surviving. I can’t recommend her enough.
After losing someone I loved deeply, I felt completely disconnected from my body, my work, and my sense of self. Everything felt meaningless. I wasn’t even sure therapy could help, but I knew I couldn’t keep living the way I was.
From the very first session, Christina’s calm presence made me feel safe enough to face the grief I’d been avoiding. She validated what I was feeling and spoke about the realities of grief in a way that I didn’t realize I’d been longing to hear.
Her trauma-informed approach helped me find stability again, not by trying to “move on,” but by learning that it’s possible to hold both grief and gratitude at the same time. I know that I’ll miss my person for the rest of my life, and yet I also feel brave enough now to create meaning in the life I still have.
Working with Christina has been one of the most healing experiences of my life. She understands grief, trauma, and the nervous system in a way that’s rare. I’m deeply grateful for her.
Moving abroad brought up challenges I never expected — loneliness, culture shock, and old patterns I thought I’d already worked through. I felt torn between excitement and exhaustion, missing home but wanting to make a new one.
Christina helped me make sense of it all while I was still in the middle of adjusting. She is the only therapist I’ve met who truly understands what it means to rebuild your life in another country — the grief of missing family, the awkwardness of starting over, the pressure to “make it work,” and the nervous system strain that comes with constant change.
Through our sessions, I learned how to set boundaries that protect my peace without shutting people out. Christina introduced me to practical tools, like Behavioural Activation and nervous system regulation techniques, that made a real difference in my day-to-day life.
For the first time in years, I feel grounded, self-confident, and strong — not because everything is perfect, but because I finally trust myself to handle whatever comes next. Working with Christina has been one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving abroad.
I started seeing Christina due to difficulties in my personal life. Through my work with her, I discovered how much they were rooted in past experiences that blocked me.
What I loved about the work with her was that we didn’t stop there, taking apart the past.
Christina is a very active therapist and through different techniques, she allowed me to free myself from limiting beliefs as well as mental and emotional patterns to be able to improve and change my situation.
In all honesty, I have not had to change the people in my life nor my circumstances, but I changed. And the techniques Christina proposed were action based and very effective.
Sessions are 100 EUR for 50 minutes.
I also offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can discuss whether the work feels like a good fit before getting started.
I offer a limited number of reduced-rate sessions for clients experiencing financial constraints.
If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to mention this when reaching out and we can discuss current availability.
Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full session fee, as session times are reserved specifically for you.
