Learn about my journey as a
Highly Sensitive Person here.

As human beings, we are meant to connect, to share, to be real with one another, and to get through obstacles together. We are never truly alone, even when it may feel we are. The therapeutic space provides a beautiful exchange for exploring these desires for connection, building resiliency, learning new tools, and writing new narratives. I'd love for the opportunity to introduce you to therapy if this is your first time, join you in a new therapeutic journey if you are returning to therapy, and walk beside you regardless.

How I Work:

I work with individual clients ages 18+. I tend to attract Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) as clients. Those who have experienced high sensitivity throughout their lives may be very sensitive to textures, smells, lighting, noise, and emotions. This may have caused irritability, anxiety, overwhelm or a strong desire for isolation. HSPs often become people-pleasers as well, struggle with setting boundaries, and may have been called “shy” or “too sensitive” or “different” throughout their lives. It’s important to know that being a HSP is not a diagnostic disorder, but a personality trait. It is a trait that can be viewed as a gift when one learns how to accommodate one’s needs.

​

I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist in support of the neurodiversity movement to support full social inclusion and accommodation for all. I work with clients who identify as neurodivergent or who are interested in learning more.

 

I also work with those who have experienced trauma in their past and are ready to work through it using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), mindfulness, and somatic experiencing. EMDR is also helpful for anxiety and phobias.

 

I pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches, and often utilize therapeutic foundations from attachment theory, parts work, re-parenting the inner child, existentialism, sandtray, somatic experience, mindfulness, and more. I help clients focus on the emotions and feelings behind their struggles, which are often hidden deeper within, and may stem from early childhood experiences. Locating these true emotions, and asking ourselves where they stem from, often provide us with the answers we need. 

 

I utilize humor and creative expression in counseling to help ease and unpack the mind. Humor and laughter are a necessary part of the healing process. I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to therapy. For that reason, I like to explore options with each client and adjust as needed. I can lead the sessions and challenge you, or I can be more of a listening ear and sounding board. We will discuss what works best for you. 

 

This is your personal journey, and I look forward to supporting you in navigating every twist and turn.
