Counseling for Life's Hard Moments - While Living Abroad
Whether you’re navigating career changes, relationship struggles, grief, or identity shifts, I offer counseling that supports both the emotional weight of life’s challenges and the added complexity of living internationally.
​
Living abroad doesn’t pause real life. Illness, transitions, family changes, and unexpected hurdles still happen — often while you’re far from familiar support and without the safety net you might normally rely on.
“Relocating can be lonely and stressful. Erin’s emotional support and practical tips have had a huge impact on how happy and settled I now feel.”

Hi, I’m Erin.
I help adults living abroad navigate life’s transitions, grief, and identity shifts while building emotional resilience and connection. Having relocated internationally myself, I understand how living away from familiar support can intensify both challenges and growth.

"Thank you so, so much for your support during my first few weeks in the Netherlands!
I’m so grateful for all your advice, and the comfort that you brought to me throughout this stressful process. I’m thrilled to say I’m now settling in to my own place and feeling confident about this new chapter. ”

Community & Connection
Starting a business — especially in the health and wellness space — can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re new to the country, pivoting careers, or building something from the ground up, entrepreneurship can feel lonely without the right support.
​
As a counselor, I believe in the power of walking to help us connect — with ourselves, each other, and the community around us. That’s why I host a monthly Netwalking group in Amsterdam for creative and wellness entrepreneurs: a non-traditional networking space where conversations flow naturally and meaningful community is built along the way.
