My Approach to Helping

*Accepting new clients - Daytime + Evening Appointments Available* If you're tired of struggling or feeling misunderstood, I'm here to help. Life can be hard sometimes, especially when you are a sensitive person who struggles to find the right support. Things like grief, loss, relationship challenges, and major life changes can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, and like you're stuck in a cycle of stress and overwhelm. You deserve to find hope, healing, happiness, and peace of mind, and you don't have to face these things alone.

I'm a sensitivity expert who supports Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), empaths, and other sensitive types to help you work through painful emotions like shame, self-doubt, and low self-esteem to increase your self-compassion and self-acceptance, find joy in your life, and embrace the innate gifts your sensitive nature gives you.

I also specialize in grief and loss, major life transitions, and therapy for fellow therapists, and am passionate about supporting people who are in the tender intersection of sensitivity and grief. I use a collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based approach to help you discover the gifts in your sensitivity, explore the things that are making life harder than it needs to be, and build the tools to start getting your sensitive needs met. I believe that small shifts can create big, positive, sustainable changes, and can help you start identifying the tiny things you can do differently.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I also identify as a Highly Sensitive Person and struggled to feel understood for a long time. It wasn't until I learned more about my own sensitivities that I could truly understand what my unique needs were and how to get them met from the people who were important to me in my life. If you're struggling to feel understood and constantly feel like nobody "gets" you, please reach out. I'm here for you.
