individual

Individual counseling services take place in an office setting.  In my practice, I provide a safe, caring and confidential environment. Here, we can explore feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that are causing problems in your relationships. We will find solutions to the missing puzzle pieces together. 

Each individual has his or her own strengths and tools. Speaking with an unbiased professional can help you identify the missing pieces and find solutions to manage the arising challenges. Together, I can help facilitate your rewarding journey towards creating positive changes in your life.

Couples

Relocating can place stress on family members in different ways. Often, a move not only changes your surroundings, but the family dynamic and structure. Individual family members may display emotions in different ways, including frustration, sadness, anxiety and anger.

• Are you wondering how your family is adjusting to living abroad?

• Are you avoiding implementing structure at home due to the fear that an emotional outburst will erupt?

• Are you having trouble communicating effectively or have you noticed an increased tension in your new home?

Youth

Group sessions are another therapeutic approach. Group therapy creates a powerful environment in which attendees can achieve mental health treatment goals with the support of others. You can gain strong interpersonal skills and coping tools from others who are, or have been, experiencing similar life changes.

I recently founded a group called The Expat Experience, for expat individuals who are currently living in Amsterdam.  The group sessions provide an opportunity for other expats who are struggling with similar issues to learn from others.  It is a great way to fine tune your coping tools and develop strategies on how to make the best of your time abroad.  It helps one process the self growth that happens when an individual goes from being comfortable with the "uncomfortable."  The group is geared towards those interested in making the most out of their expatriate experience.
