About Me — Therapist to Expats and Digital Nomads in Europe and Beyond
Living abroad can be both extraordinary and destabilizing. You’re building a life that’s rich with experience — but beneath the excitement, it can be hard to feel truly at ease. Even when things look good on paper, there can be a quiet undercurrent of uncertainty, loneliness, or restlessness that follows you from place to place.

I’m an English-speaking psychologist based in Europe, and I help expats and digital nomads navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, and the emotional ups and downs of life in transition. My work is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and deeply compassionate; helping you find steadiness, connection, and clarity no matter where in the world you are.

‍Why I Do This Work
Before becoming a psychologist, I spent years in the corporate world — accomplished but disconnected from myself. I wanted my work to mean something; to be more human. That led me to psychology, and eventually to the life I live now — one grounded in empathy, depth, and real connection.

In 2021, my partner Alex died suddenly and unexpectedly. His death changed everything I knew about safety, love, and loss. Living through trauma and grief firsthand reshaped how I understand what it means to be human — to keep moving forward while carrying pain that doesn’t simply go away.

That experience continues to shape the heart of my work. I know what it means to rebuild after loss, to live with a nervous system that has known fear, and to slowly rediscover trust and meaning. I don’t believe in “moving on.” I believe in learning to live with what’s happened — with honesty, tenderness, and strength.

Today, my work is about helping others do the same: reconnecting with themselves, building inner safety, and finding growth that feels real — not forced. Healing, to me, isn’t about perfection. It’s about returning, again and again, to what makes you feel most alive.

Education and Training‍
‍I’m originally from Canada, and have built both my education and my clinical career across North America and Europe.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical and Health Psychology from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Queen’s University in Canada. I also hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from Capilano University.

My clinical fieldwork included rotations in hospital psychiatry, where I gained hands-on experience supporting clients with trauma, various psychological symptoms, and complex emotional needs. I have also worked under the supervision of a Hungarian psychiatrist, further strengthening my understanding of integrated, multidisciplinary mental health care.

In addition to my academic background, I have completed extensive professional training in evidence-based therapies, including:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and PTSD
‍• Megan Devine’s Professional Grief Care Certification

Alongside these, I hold a Certificate in Intercultural Awareness from Queen’s University, which deepened my understanding of cultural adaptation, identity, and cross-cultural communication — skills I draw on daily when supporting expats and digital nomads around the world.

I combine these evidence-based methods with a deep understanding of embodiment and nervous-system regulation, supported by over 500 hours of yoga teacher training. This blend of science and body-based awareness allows me to help clients not only think differently, but feel differently — more grounded, safe, and connected to themselves.

‍Why I Work With Expats and Nomads
Since 2017, I’ve lived as both an expat and a digital nomad across Europe — building a home in Paris, London, Budapest, and Amsterdam, while also spending seasons working remotely and traveling between countries.

These days, I call Budapest home, and I still travel and digital nomad often. I understand what it’s like to live life on the move — balancing freedom with stability, new beginnings with moments of uncertainty.

Because I’ve experienced both the rooted expat life and the ever-changing nomad lifestyle, I understand the emotional highs and lows that come with each. The excitement and growth — but also the isolation, transitions, and quiet longing for connection.

That’s why I help expats and nomads find stability within themselves, even when life around them is in motion. My work is about helping you feel grounded, confident, and connected — wherever in the world you happen to be.

‍Values that Shape my Practice
‍
• Groundedness
I believe healing begins with finding steadiness inside ourselves — especially when life around us feels unpredictable. My work helps clients reconnect to their body, their breath, and their inner sense of safety, so that no matter where they are in the world, they can return home to themselves.

• Compassion
‍Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you — it’s about understanding what happened to you with gentleness and honesty. I approach every client with deep compassion and respect for their story, while also encouraging self-compassion — the quiet courage to treat yourself with the same kindness you give to others.

• Honesty
‍I believe therapy should be real, not rehearsed. My approach is warm but direct — I’ll listen deeply, but I’ll also challenge you when it matters. Change happens when we tell the truth about what’s working, what’s not, and what you truly need.

• Connection
‍We all need connection — to others, to purpose, to ourselves. My work focuses on helping clients build authentic relationships and a sense of belonging, even when living far from “home.” You don’t have to navigate this alone.

‍• Growth
‍Post-traumatic growth is real — not as a silver lining, but as a testament to what it means to keep living with meaning after everything changes. I’ve experienced it personally, and I see it in my clients every day: the possibility of building a life that feels more honest, grounded, and aligned.

‍What You Can Expect
‍You don’t have to explain what it’s like to feel anxious in a new country, homesick in a beautiful place, or uncertain about what comes next — I already get it.
In our sessions, you’ll find a space that’s nonjudgmental, real, and completely focused on you — your pace, your goals, and what actually works for your life abroad. Together, we’ll build clarity, self-trust, and calm — so that no matter where you are, you feel at home in yourself.
