What I Love About Working in This Niche:   I love helping individuals understand their experiences and challenges to living as an expat, and as a result giving them the tools to adapt and become flexible in their identity and attachment to cultural cues.

Favorite Coaching Tool:  Aiding clients in developing an understanding of stances which may prevent flexibility and movement.

Why Clients Choose Me As Their Coach:  Relationally I work hard to give the client a sense of being understood.

 A Tip for My Niche:  Aid the expat in understanding their challenging experiences are normal and not a personal flaw.
