For people living between cultures, places, or roles, where one relationship keeps leaving you off balance.
Not because something is wrong with you. Because you've been carrying this alone for too long.

This kind of pattern rarely stays contained. It starts costing you elsewhere too — your energy, your other relationships, your sense of yourself.
You do not need to be in crisis to ask for support. We start by making sense of the pattern, not by judging the relationship.
I'm Dutch, living in Zürich, married to my Indian husband, and a mother. My own life sits inside the kind of complexity I coach through: different cultures, different rules about closeness, guilt, and respect, all under one roof.
I have a background in psychology and health science, and I'm trained in trauma-informed coaching. I'm drawn to the relationships that are hard to explain from the outside but deeply destabilizing from the inside: a parent who never quite hears you, a partner conversation that leaves you doubting yourself for hours, the friend who quietly drains you.
We do not rush past the nervous system. We do not force clarity while you are overwhelmed.
I don't believe in quick positivity, and I don't believe in staying in the story forever. I believe in seeing clearly, trusting what you already sense, and choosing your next move with more steadiness. You do not need to prove that it was "bad enough."
We start with what is actually happening, then build from there.
What needs to calm down first? If you are overwhelmed or running on empty, we start here.
What is actually happening? We name the pattern: what is said, what is implied, what gets denied, and what happens after you set a limit.
What do you already know? We work with the part of you that has been noticing more than you have allowed yourself to trust.
What needs saying, and what does not? We find the smallest clear boundary and prepare for what may come next.
Who are you becoming when guilt no longer runs the show? We look at the next grounded step, not from fear, pressure, or obligation, but from clarity.
Clarity is not cruelty. A boundary is not a punishment. It is information about what you will and will not participate in.

Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis, or crisis care. My work supports reflection, clarity, self-trust, boundaries, and next steps. It's trauma-informed, but it doesn't diagnose or treat mental illness. In a crisis, or if you need clinical care, therapy is the better next step.
