About

Hello, fellow sensitive soul. First I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to consider therapy. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), it’s likely you’ve felt painfully misunderstood in your life, even by those closest to you. I know I have. HSPs are gifted with tender hearts—we feel things deeply, notice details others miss, and carry the emotional weight of the world in ways that are both beautiful and, at times, exhausting. Your sensitivity is a profound strength and source of wisdom. At the same time, I understand how sensitivity can lead to overwhelm, shame, and self-doubt, especially in a fast-paced and insensitive world. I love helping deeply feeling people move through big emotions and get unstuck. In therapy, you’ll learn tools that build emotional resilience. We’ll work together to replace old, unhelpful patterns with new ones that build on your strengths and align with your values. I offer my compassionate, nonjudgmental presence and lots of encouragement along the way.
