Who I Serve

In as little as four hours a month, I will show you how to feel at home in your surroundings... And how to leave your feelings of rejection, overwhelm, or dependency behind so you can truly be yourself again

Who do I work with?
I help people feel at home in an unfamiliar culture. When you move to a new place you move more than your belongings. You move your frame of reference — everything you know that is simple and true. As a result, you search to find the world you left behind in the world you have entered. This is how you make sense of the new place.

But it is illusive. It can be hard living where nothing is familiar. You struggle at the market choosing food. You struggle with language and directions and with people who seem unfriendly. And you wonder if you’ll ever move past this strange awkward place between what you know and where you are.

It’s easier and faster when you have someone to show you how to find yourself in your new surroundings — a coach to support you in caring for yourself and your family.

Ideally, clients come to me even before they move. That way, I can prepare them for their coming change. Wherever they are in this process of change, my clients are ready to explore their surroundings and find ways to feel at home.

What are some of the problems they face?
Here are examples of situations my clients might experience. Your circumstance may be similar or different.

"This is exciting. We're moving to another country and I have a million things to do. Truthfully, I'm overwhelmed. There's no way I'll be able to get it all done. I wish there was a way to sort everything out before we get there."

"Since we moved here, it feels like I spend all my time doing what seemed simple at home. I’m constantly turning to new people for help. It's frustrating. I really miss my friends and family back home."

"I used to think this country was so beautiful. The people, the food, the atmosphere. But living here has changed that. I see things differently and sometimes it’s hard to know who to trust. I just want to get along here, but I feel discouraged."

"Before we came here people respected me; I was accomplished in my career. I want those feelings back. I want my life to go on while I'm here but I don't know how to get started."

“This place is a killer. My job is so demanding; I feel exhausted. There’s no way I can find balance between work and family. It’s like I have to tackle so many new worlds at the same time.”

“My marriage has slowly and steadily deteriorated since we moved here. I don’t know what’s wrong. We can’t find time for each other and I feel alone. Everything seems to be on my shoulders. I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”

"We've moved back home and it's like being in another foreign country. Everything seems changed. People aren't really interested in what I experienced abroad. I never thought I'd be lonely when I moved back home, but that's how it feels."

What do my clients do to succeed?
Coaching can help you move out of struggling and into taking actions on your own goals. This work is sometimes difficult, but it is highly rewarding. With coaching, you will have a guide and a structure that works. It’s best to begin when you feel the urge for change, and are willing to stretch and grow.

We’ll identify and set goals to take action, and I will support you as you progress. If you try to reach goals but fall short, that's okay. We can identify what happened and the reason behind it so you can learn from it and grow. If you’re ready to move forward and take action, coaching is right for you.
