I don’t just work with expatriates.
I am one of them.

For many years, I believed that adaptation was simply part of life. What I did not fully understand then was the emotional cost that so often accompanies international mobility: the invisible pain of leaving or returning, the loss of familiar reference points, the challenge of rebuilding a sense of belonging, and the impact that constant transitions can have on individuals, couples and families.

I know this not only as a therapist, but also as a woman, a mother and an expatriate.

I was married to a foreign businessman and lived the experience of expatriation within a multicultural family. Together we raised two binational children, navigating the complexities of identity, belonging, education, cultural differences and constant relocations.

I have lived international transitions from multiple perspectives: as a child, as an adult, as a partner, as a mother and as a professional.

These experiences shaped my professional path.

The foundation of my training is Psychology, with a master’s degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and Transcultural Psychotherapy. My professional career began in the school and pediatric health setting, where I worked in a children’s hospital supporting children, adolescents and their parents through emotional, developmental and family situations. Those years taught me the profound impact that life circumstances, family systems and emotional environments have on well-being.

I later established a private practice in Paris, where, in addition to psychotherapy, I specialized in expressive arts therapy and became an author, exploring the transformative power of creative processes, self-expression and personal growth.

However, despite all my training, it was my own international experience that revealed the gap I wanted to fill. I realized that many expatriates and internationally mobile families face challenges that often go unnoticed: identity shifts, loneliness, strain in relationships, raising children in multicultural contexts, career interruptions, loss of community and the emotional impact of starting from scratch again and again.

From the outside, international life can seem exciting and privileged. From the inside, it can also be uncertain, exhausting and deeply transformative.

That is why I do what I do.

Today, I help expatriates, international professionals and internationally mobile families navigate transitions with greater clarity, coherence and emotional well-being. My work combines integrative psychotherapy, humanistic and systemic approaches, expressive arts therapy and neuroscience-based practices to foster meaningful, lasting change.

But beyond methods and qualifications, what I offer is something that many of my clients tell me they value most:

I understand. I understand what it means to leave. I understand what it means to arrive. I understand what it means to rebuild. And I understand what it means to search for a home while carrying multiple worlds within.

My journey taught me that transitions are not merely logistical events, but profound opportunities for transformation.

The lesson I carry with me today is simple:

You don’t need to stop being who you are in order to adapt.

When people learn to integrate their experiences, honor their story and reconnect with their inner resources, transitions become more than periods of uncertainty. They become gateways to growth, balance and a deeper sense of belonging, wherever life takes them.

That is the path I now accompany others along.
