Okay, let me be honest for a minute.
I’ve been a licensed therapist and have owned a private practice since 2022. I love the work I do. I love being in real, honest conversations with people about what they’re carrying and how they’re actually feeling.
But after moving abroad for the second time, something clicked in a way it didn’t before. There is a very real gap in mental health support for Americans living abroad. Not because people don’t want support, but because finding someone who understands your cultural background, your language, your humor, your “why does this feel so big” moments… isn’t easy when you’re in a whole new country.
You can love where you live and still feel lonely.
You can be grateful and still feel overwhelmed.
You can be excited and still feel lost some days.
Nobody really prepares you for the emotional side of moving abroad. The identity shifts. The distance from what’s familiar. The way old patterns show up in new places. The part where you’re trying to build a life from scratch — while still being you.
I created Planted Abroad because I know what it feels like to be in that space and have nowhere to bring those feelings. And I also know that support can feel just as grounding and meaningful as therapy without the red tape or the complications of international licensing.
It’s just real conversation, real emotional support, and someone who actually understands the expat experience from the inside.
If you’re out here trying to adjust to a new country while also trying to understand yourself in the process… I see you.
And if you want to talk through what you’re carrying, I’m here.
No pressure. Just connection.
Let’s talk.
