Living abroad can be both enriching and destabilizing. While your life may be full of novel experiences, it can be difficult to feel settled. Beneath the surface of adventure, many experience a persistent sense of uncertainty, solitude or restlessness that travels with them from one place to the next.

I’m an English-speaking psychologist based in Europe, working with expats and digital nomads who are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief and the psychological demands of life in transition.
My practice grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based care and guided by deep compassion.

‍Why I Do This Work
‍
Before becoming a psychologist, I spent many years in the corporate world. I was accomplished, yet increasingly disconnected from myself. I wanted a vocation rooted in meaning, depth and genuine connection. This led me to psychology, and a life shaped by empathy, reflection and relational presence.

In 2021, my partner Alex died suddenly and unexpectedly as I held his hand. His death irrevocably altered my understanding of safety, love and loss. Surviving trauma and grief firsthand transformed not only my personal life, but the way I comprehend what it means to continue living while carrying pain that does not simply resolve or disappear.

Alex's death lies at the heart of my work. I know intimately what it means to rebuild after loss, to inhibit a nervous system shaped by fear, and to slowly re-learn trust and meaning in a world that no longer feels predictable. I don’t believe in the notion of “moving on”. I believe in learning to live with what’s happened — with honesty, tenderness and resilience.

Today, my work is devoted to supporting others in the same process: reconnecting with themselves, cultivating inner safety, and discovering forms of growth that feel authentic rather than forced. Healing, as I understand it, is not the pursuit of perfection. It is the ongoing practice of consistently returning to what makes life feel meaning, grounded and fully alive.

Education and Training
‍‍
‍I’m originally from Canada and have built both my education and my clinical career across both North America and Europe. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical and Health Psychology from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Queen’s University, and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Capilano University (both in Canada).

My clinical training included hospital psychiatry rotations, where I gained experience supporting individuals with trauma, complex psychological symptoms, and significant emotional distress. I have also worked under the supervision of a Hungarian psychiatrist, deepening my understanding of integrated and multidisciplinary mental health care.

I have completed extensive professional training in evidence-based therapies, including:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and PTSD
‍• Megan Devine’s Professional Grief Care Certification

Further, I hold a Certificate in Intercultural Awareness from Queen’s University, which informs my work with expats and digital nomads navigating identity, adaptation and cross-cultural life transitions.

I integrate these evidence-based methods with a strong focus on embodiment and nervous-system regulation, supported by over 500 hours of yoga teacher training. This allows my work to address not only thought patterns, but also the felt experience of safety, grounding and connection.

‍Why I Work With Expats and Nomads
‍
Since 2017, I’ve lived as both an expatriate and a digital nomad across Europe, establishing homes in Paris, London, Budapest, and Amsterdam, while also spending extended periods working remotely and in constant motion.

Today, Budapest is my home base, though travel and nomadic living remain central to my life. I understand what means to live between places: to hold freedom and stability, while navigating new beginnings with persistent uncertainty.

This is why I also began writing a newsletter, to reach people who may not yet be ready for therapy, but are looking for language, understanding, and reassurance around the common emotional challenges of expat life. Through writing, I explore themes like burnout, grief, identity, loneliness, and life transitions abroad; helping people feel less alone in what they're experiencing.
‍
This is why my work is dedicated to helping expats and nomads cultivate stability from within, even when life is in motion. Therapy is a space to restore grounding, confidence and emotional continuity, wherever in the world you may find yourself.

‍Values that Shape my Practice
‍
• Groundedness
I believe healing begins with cultivating inner steadiness — especially when external life feels unpredictable. My work supports clients in reconnecting with their body, breath, and inner sense of safety, so they remain anchored regardless of where they are in the world.

• Compassion
‍Therapy is not about correcting what’s “wrong” with you, but understanding what has shaped you with honesty and care. I approach each client with deep respect for their lived experience, while fostering self-compassion; the quiet courage to meet yourself with the same kindness you extend to others.

• Honesty
‍I believe therapy should be genuine, not performative. My style is warm yet direct: I listen deeply, and challenge thoughtfully. Lasting change emerges when we speak truthfully about what is working, what is not, and what you truly need.

• Connection
‍Humans heal in relationship to themselves, to others and to meaning. My work centres on helping clients build authentic connection and a sense of belonging, particularly when living far from familiar supports. You do not have to navigate this alone.

‍• Growth
‍Post-traumatic growth is not a silver lining, but a testament to hunan capacity for meaning after profound change. I witness this daily in my clients: the possibility of creating a life that feels more honest, grounded, and aligned with who they havebecome

‍What You Can Expect
‍
‍You do not need to explain what it feels like to experience anxiety in a new country, homesick in a beautiful place or uncertain about what comes next; I already understand.
Our work together will be collaborative, nonjudgmental, real, and shaped around your pace, goals, and the realities of your life abroad. Therapy with me is a space for depth, clarity and emotional safety.

If you're found yourself here, something in you is already paying attention. Therapy doesn't require certainty or urgency, just a willingness to begin. If it feels right, I'd be glad to meet you.
