Where do we belong?

Welcome, beautiful soul,

Have you ever felt like you’re wandering through life, searching for your place, but never quite finding it? I know that feeling all too well. As a third culture kid, I’ve spent my life navigating between worlds, always wondering, "Where do I belong?" It’s a question that has guided my journey, sometimes gently, sometimes with a fierce urgency.

In today’s ever-changing world, where everything seems to be happening all at once—remote work, global connections, digital communities—the concept of belonging has become both more expansive and more elusive. We can be everywhere, and yet nowhere, all at the same time. And in this whirlwind, something essential gets lost: the deep, human connections that make us feel seen, heard, and understood.

I’ve found myself clinging to the familiar—places, people, memories—trying to anchor myself in a world that feels like it’s constantly shifting beneath my feet. But what I’ve learned, both in my own life and through my work as a marriage and family therapist, is that true belonging isn’t just about finding the right place or the right people. It’s about finding home within ourselves.

This blog is my offering to you—a space where we can explore the magic and messiness of belonging together. Here, I’ll share my personal journey of navigating cultural hybridity, rootlessness, and the search for home. I’ll also bring in the wisdom I’ve gathered from working with couples and individuals who, like me, are figuring out what it means to belong in a world that often feels fragmented and disconnected.

We’ll dive into the themes that matter—identity, otherness, relationships, attachment, grief, loss—and how these play out in our lives as we search for a sense of home. But more than that, we’ll explore how to turn this search inward, to discover the belonging that already exists within us, waiting to be unlocked.

This is a space for anyone who has ever felt like they’re not quite enough, not quite home, not quite sure where they fit. Together, we’ll create a community where belonging isn’t just a destination, but a journey of self-discovery and connection.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s dive into this beautiful adventure together.
