Is this right for you?
The practice runs on three specialties, and most clients fall into one of six shapes inside them. Some don't fit any, and that's fine — the Discovery Call sorts it. What's worth saying up front is who this is explicitly not for.
Three kinds of work
One umbrella — feeling steady and capable when life feels destabilizing — and three doors into it. Each specialty page goes deep on its own patterns and fit.
The broadest door: skills for anxiety, stress, low mood, and emotional overwhelm — for locals, expats, and US clients equally.

See this specialty →Perimenopause, menopause, and midlife identity and mood shifts — coaching alongside your medical care, never instead of it.
See this specialty →Who fits
These aren’t rigid — clients often blend two of them. The point is to name what brings most of you here, so you can recognize yourself quickly and see where to go deeper.
The digital nomad
You're US-anchored income on a digital-nomad or remote-work visa in Portugal, Spain, Italy, or Croatia. Recently moved or about to move again. Anxiety about visa renewals, isolation, decision fatigue, work/life under nomadic conditions. You read Huberman, you've tried meditation apps, you want operational tools.
The expat professional
Same vibe, less nomadic. You moved abroad for work or family, you're staying, and the move keeps surfacing things that 'should have been settled' months ago. Identity strain. Loneliness. The quiet question of which life you're actually building.
The parent abroad
Trailing spouse or dual-career parent raising kids in a culture that isn't your origin. Lost professional identity. Partnership strain. The bureaucratic load of doing school, healthcare, and visas in a second language.
The US private-pay professional
Based in Central or Eastern time zone in the US, outside the five states where I hold a clinical license. You want anxiety coaching outside the insurance and medical model — no diagnosis, no benefits paperwork. Your pricing and packages are posted in USD on the US-clients page — $220 per 50-min session, and the posted price is what you pay.
The woman in midlife
Perimenopause or menopause changed the weather — mood, sleep, identity, confidence — and your current tools were calibrated for a different body. Sometimes your doctor suggested coaching; sometimes you found your own way here. Local, expat, or US: the season is the common ground, not the address.
The English-speaking local
You live in Croatia (or elsewhere in Europe) and always have — no move, no visa story. You want skills-based anxiety and mood work in English, online and private — nobody's waiting room, nobody's small town — with someone who takes the work seriously. Comfortable conversational English is all you need; the expat framing was never a requirement.
Only loosely fit one? That’s typical — the shapes are reference points, not requirements. If you’re an English-speaking person dealing with anxiety, low mood, or a destabilizing transition, you’re probably close enough.

Scope statement
I hold a licensed practice in five US states: California, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont.
Clients located in those five states are served by that practice, not by this one. The right starting point for you is getbetterthoughts.com.
This isn’t a marketing redirect. It’s a scope-of-practice constraint: coaching here is offered only to clients located in jurisdictions where I do not hold a clinical license. Those five states are where I do hold one — so the work there is clinical, not coaching.
