About me
I'm a sensitivity expert who works with Highly Sensitive People struggling to cope with depression and anxiety, grief and loss, and major life transitions. I also specialize in therapy for fellow therapists. DAYTIME + EVENING appointments available.
Highly Sensitive People and other sensitive types often feel misunderstood and like something is wrong with them. We've heard over and over that we're "too sensitive" and we should "get over it". Messages like that plant seeds of doubt inside us that make us struggle to trust our own feelings and experiences. When an HSP face grief and loss or major life transitions, these challenges can intensify.
I'm passionate about helping HSPs feel seen, heard, and understood. When we work together, I'll help you learn to trust your intuition and honor your feelings. I'll support you as you work through painful emotions like shame and self-judgment and will help you build self-compassion, learn how to honor your needs, and cultivate the unique gifts that your sensitivity offers.
Therapy is a sacred space where you can express all your feelings, tell your story, and be validated. Together, we'll dismantle the unhelpful core beliefs that cause you emotional pain and develop the tools to better navigate your sensitivities while you learn how to embrace your sensitive nature.
