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.

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.
